Formed in 2008 in Victoria, B.C., PIGS: Canada’s Pink Floyd honour Pink Floyd’s music like no other tribute. They have spent over a decade meticulously recreating the live sound and concert experience of seventies-era Pink Floyd and have perfected their craft in front of sold out audiences throughout Canada.
The last few years have seen PIGS emerge as the No. 1 national touring Pink Floyd tribute in Canada playing to over 100,000 fans, with every show featuring their meticulous attention to the details of the live Floyd experience that their many fans have come to know and love.PIGS recreate the live experience of the seventies with authentic gear, accurate parts, and voices so close to the original it’s hard to tell them apart.
Using authentic instruments and equipment, the band recreates the sound and live concert experience of Pink Floyd in their heyday. Pink Floyd’s live shows were always a huge part of their appeal—and PIGS have been working to keep that experience alive for generations to come.
