ASTORIA — KCRX 102.3 FM welcomes Portland-based Pink Floyd tribute band Pigs on the Wing back to the Astoria Event Center for a special two-night run of classic Pink Floyd tunes at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, July 17 and 18.

Following last year’s sold-out Astoria concert, Pigs on the Wing returns with an even bigger production, performing two full sets and a different, full, cover-to-cover Pink Floyd album each night. Each night will feature a set list spanning the range of Pink Floyd’s career that Floyd fans and classic rock fans alike will not want to miss.

Tickets are available at http://astoriapigwing.brownpapertickets.com. A limited number of specially priced two-night-pass tickets are available for $30. Single night advance tickets are $17 each and are recommended as the demand for last year’s show exceeded the capacity of the Astoria Event Center.

The show is open to all ages both nights, and is general admission only. Seating is limited; early arrival is recommended if you require a seat for this show.

Imagine the energy and electric intensity of “Dark Side of the Moon”-era Pink Floyd — in an intimate theater or rock club environment. Pigs on the Wing has been delivering just that spellbinding experience to wide-ranging audiences since 2006.

Pigs on the Wing brings an intense, high-energy experience to the table that is both true to the original and unapologetic in its interpretation, something which the band members believe has set the group apart from the other tributes from the beginning. Since its inception as a one-off performance of “Dark Side of the Moon” to the band’s current touring production, which has included live renditions of the infamous “Wizard of Oz” sync, full performances of multiple Floyd albums, and music from every era of Pink Floyd’s career, Pigs on the Wing heavily emphasizes the rock dynamics and psychedelic intensity of 1970s-era Floyd.

None are bigger Floyd fans than the members of Pigs on the Wing themselves. As vocalist Keeley St. Clair put it in a recent interview in Oregon Music News, “I think I can speak for everyone in the band in saying that we take good care to be stewards of the music that we admire so much as a band … It’s a big responsibility to play such well-loved music.”
