Wish You Were Here - The Sight & Sound of Pink Floyd returns to Akron Civic Theatre on Saturday October 3, 2026 to benefit the Akron Children’s Pediatric Palliative Care Center. “The Great Tour In The Sky 2026” celebrates America's largest, most authentic and longest-running Pink Floyd tribute production, performing their greatest classics and deep cuts.
Since 2013, Wish You Were Here’s past 9 benefit concerts in partnership with Akron Civic Theatre and WONE 97.5FM have raised over $236,000 for Akron Children’s and The Haslinger Family Pediatric Palliative Care Center. To mark this 10th-year event milestone, tickets prices have been lowered across the board to encourage fans and friends of the band and hospital help achieve their goal of $250,000 in total aggregate donations.
Wish You Were Here is an immersive Floydian theatrical concert experience - a musical & visual recreation of the band's classic years of 1970-1981 with lighting, vintage circle-screen videos, sound effects & flying inflatables, plus a stunning Laser light show from The Division Bell era and even a trip thru the psychedelic Syd years.
The 10-piece band authentically recreates music from the entire Pink Floyd canon, including classic favorites from Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall, along with show-stopping deep tracks for the true Floyd fanatics, all performed 100% live with no pre-recorded backing tracks.
Originally debuting 39 years ago as Harvest Pink Floyd Revue in 1987, the band is the longest continually-performing professional Pink Floyd tribute act in the world, as well as America’s first and largest Floyd stage production, with an unparalleled history of sold-out concerts, record-breaking festival events and celebrated theater productions throughout Midwest America.
