Pink Floyd's dark side of the moon under the Karlsruhe planetarium dome

On Friday, November 6, 2026, PLANET KA in Karlsruhe transforms the legendary concept album The Dark Side of the Moon into an immersive audiovisual concert experience. Starting at 9:00 PM, the complete 1973 album will be played in surround sound, accompanied by spacey-psychedelic 360° projections under the planetarium dome.

Rock history meets the outer cosmos

The Dark Side of the Moon is one of the most influential and successful albums in rock and pop history. Its precise orchestration, iconic sound effects, and flowing transitions create a special spatial effect in the planetarium. Music, light, and projection merge into a dense sound architecture between progressive rock, psychedelic rock, and atmospheric stage performance.

An album as an audiovisual journey

The entire work runs in surround sound under a psychedelic 360° dome projection. The music show connects the inner cosmic soul of the Pink Floyd compositions with images of outer space. Colors, light movements, and soundscapes interact and make the concert hall appear as a floating space between stars, time, and memory.

Between lunar phases and musical synchronization

At the beginning, PLANET KA provides the astronomical background: lunar phases, eclipses, and synchronous rotation explain why the ambiguous dark side of the moon is scientifically understood differently than everyday language suggests. Afterwards, the music takes over and leads the audience on a sound and image journey of about 60 minutes.

Important notes for visitors

Doors open about 30 minutes before the event starts. No late admission is possible for planetarium shows; unused tickets expire without compensation. Due to the intense acoustic and visual stimuli, the show is not suitable for persons with corresponding sensitivities. The event is recommended for ages 14 and up.

Conclusion: Experience Pink Floyd in the cosmic space

PLANET KA offers much more than an album playback with this music show: The familiar sound images of Pink Floyd gain a new spatial dimension through surround sound and dome projection. Those who want to experience The Dark Side of the Moon as a milestone of psychedelic and space rock will find an extraordinary concert experience in Karlsruhe between rock history and planetarium cosmos.
