Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii – MCMLXXII is coming to 4K Blu-ray courtesy of Sony Music Vision and is set for release on February 27, 2026.
The iconic concert film from 1972, which features tracks such as Echoes, One of these days and A bowl full of secretsreceives the 4K treatment restored from the original 35mm footage. It promises improved colours, fine detail and “each frame was carefully examined and repaired by hand”, with restoration efforts led by Lana Topham, director of restoration for Pink Floyd.

For sound, three mixes are offered: Dolby Atmos, stereo and 5.1. The new home entertainment mix by Steven Wilson (of Porcupine Tree fame) has improved upon the original soundtrack, but Wilson aimed to “stay true to how the band would have sounded in 1971.”
This 4K release comes off the back of a big 2025 for the band. Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii – MCMLXXII returned to cinemas worldwide this spring, and a 50th anniversary edition of the band’s iconic album Wish you were here was released in December with a new Dolby Atmos mix.
The 4K Blu-ray is available for pre-order now and can be pre-ordered here. Prices are expected to be $32.99 / £29.99 (approx AU$49.99). Pink Floyd: Live in Pompeii MCMLXXII is also available on CD, Vinyl and Blu-ray.
The arrival of 4K Blu-ray music movies
While physical media has struggled over the past few years, 4K Blu-ray certainly seems to still be finding its audience. Every time I visit my local HMV store here in the UK, the 4K Blu-ray section seems to be getting bigger, with more limited edition releases from the likes of The Criterion Collection and Arrow filling the shelves.
It’s no surprise, then, that with the enthusiast support of 4K Blu-ray and the advent of Dolby Atmos and spatial sound music, more concert films are being brought to 4K Blu-ray, providing a premium home theater experience.
Pairing one of these discs with the best TVs and the best soundbars leads to magic, as I discovered when I saw Hans Zimmer: Live in Prague as part of the July 2025 Blu-ray Bounty.
Pink Floyd now joins the growing list of artists bringing iconic concert films to 4K Blu-ray, which already includes Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones and Prince. My colleague Matt Bolton also wrote a list of Dolby Atmos movies that really focus on the music, including concert movies if you want some recommendations.
I expect that by 2026 we’ll see that list grow even bigger, and as a 4K Blu-ray fan, I’m here for it.
