Posted August 21, 2017 by Floydian Slip

Enter now to win a pair of tickets to see the concert film “David Gilmour Live at Pompeii,” coming to theaters one night only: Wednesday, Sept. 13.

Music for the show is taken from Gilmour’s “Rattle That Lock” (2015) and “On an Island” (2006), and also includes a number of Floyd classics.

“Floydian Slip” has paired with Trafalgar Releasing to give you a pair of tickets to the participating theater of your choice in the United States.

Enter now. Deadline to enter is Sunday, Sept. 3.
