SUMMARY:Floydian Trip—New England’s #1 Pink Floyd Experience—RETURNS to the Waterville Opera House on October 3rd!
DESCRIPTION:After last year’s sold-out show\, Floydian Trip returns to the Waterville Opera House with their ‘Echoes Through Time’ 2026 Tour on October 3\, 2026. \nThis special homecoming performance features Waterville native Stephanie Jones taking the stage for a massive night of Pink Floyd classics. Backed by a full-scale laser light production\, this performance covers the full evolution of Pink Floyd’s legacy. The band delivers a setlist built for true fans—balancing iconic\, stadium-filling hits with deep cuts that span from the 1960s psychedelic era to the conceptual masterpieces of the 70s\, 80s\, and 90s (from the Piper to the Bell). \nFloydian Trip is defined by an uncompromising commitment to musical accuracy. Voted “Best Band” in both the 2025 and 2026 Best of Hartford Readers’ Polls\, this seven-member ensemble draws on official releases and rare bootlegs to meticulously recreate the vintage guitar tones\, synth layers\, and rich vocal arrangements of Pink Floyd’s original touring era. \nCome for the nostalgia\, stay for the sound\, and lose yourself in the ultimate Pink Floyd experience! \nEvent Details:\nVenue: Waterville Opera House\, 93 Main St\, Waterville\, ME 04901\nDate & Time: Saturday\, October 3\, 2026 at 8pm\nTickets: https://www.floydiantrip.com/waterville\nVideo preview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXuILbN4GB0
