After a rocking “Pink Talking Fu Kuaz” set at Wanee, where members of PTF, Kung Fu, and Turkuaz played the music of David Bowie and Prince for a festival-closing performance on the Mushroom Stage, Pink Talking Fish are moving right along to play through their spring tour. The Pink Floyd, The Talking Heads, and Phish cover band will continue to ride the high through summer, as they’ve announced an exciting summer lineup filled with festivals, beach parties, and pre/post events surrounding Phish, Dead & Company, and Roger Waters.
The summer kicks off in Denver, CO with an event called “Pink Talking Fish: Pink Floyd Box Set Experience.” This will take place surrounding Roger Waters’ two-night run at The Pepsi Center. PTF will perform pre and post concerts and each show will display a different album concept where the band performs one of Pink Floyd’s masterpieces in its entirety, while intertwining Phish and Talking Heads songs throughout the album cuts. Albums performed will be Animals, Dark Side Of The Moon, Meddle, and Wish You Were Here.
On 4th of July Weekend, PTF will bring their show to the beach with an outdoor concert in Rhode Island on June 30th and a two-night run deep into Cape Cod at The Wellfleet Beachcomber on July 3rd and 4th.
PTF will be making stops at plenty of festivals throughout the summer, including The Peach Music Festival, Highberry Music Festival, Buffalove, and Jerry Jam. The band will also perform a special “PTF & Friends” set to close out the mainstage on the Sunday night of the Disc Jam Music Festival.
Perhaps best placed late at night, PTF will perform plenty of late-night ragers around the country to keep the party going for the summer’s headlining acts. Dead & Company play at Wrigley Field in July and PTF will give an encore after-party performance at The Vic Theatre.
They will also perform a Phish after-party in Pittsburgh at the beloved Rex Theater, as well as multiple events in NYC surrounding Phish’s Bakers Dozen run. NYC performances include a “PTF Are Dead” concept on Jerry Garcia’s Birthday, a classic PTF show at The Gramercy Theatre and a pre-party boat cruise on the afternoon of the final night of The Bakers Dozen.
