Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii - MCMLXXII is coming to 4K Blu-ray courtesy of Sony Music Vision, and is set for release on February 27th 2026.
The iconic 1972 concert film, which features tracks such as Echoes, One Of These Days and A Saucerful Of Secrets, receives the 4K treatment, which is restored from the original 35mm footage. It promises enhanced colors, fine details and "every frame was meticulously reviewed and repaired by hand", with restoration efforts led by Lana Topham, Director of Restoration for Pink Floyd.

For sound, there are three mixes on offer: Dolby Atmos, stereo and 5.1. The new home entertainment mix by Steven Wilson (of Porcupine Tree fame) has enhanced the original soundtrack, but Wilson aimed to "remain faithful 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 theaters worldwide in the 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. Pink Floyd: Live in Pompeii MCMLXXII is also available on CD, Vinyl and Blu-ray.
The arrival of 4K Blu-ray music films
While physical media has been struggling over the past few years, 4K Blu-ray certainly seems to be finding its audience still. 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 for 4K Blu-ray and the rise of Dolby Atmos and spatial audio music, that more concert films are being brought to 4K Blu-ray, providing a premium home theater experience.
