The Dark Side Of The Moon Returns To Adler Planetarium In 2026
Back when I was a kid, I was big into space. I think a lot of that had to do with the fact that I was a huge "Star Wars" fan. If my family went somewhere for vacation and there was a planetarium there, I would beg my parents to go. Of course, I visited the Adler Planetarium in Chicago many times through the years.

When I was in school, my friends and I found out about these Cosmic Light Shows at the Cernan Earth and Space Center at Triton College. It was basically a laser light show with a killer soundtrack. My favorite was always Pink Floyd.
The Adler Planetarium is taking those laser shows to the next level with Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon." I can not wait to check out this show, especially with all the latest and greatest technology.
According to the Adler Planetarium...
Go on a cosmic visual journey choreographed to one of the best-selling albums of all time!
“The show itself will be divided between the 10 tracks on the album, and in chronological order; each having a different theme; some futuristically looking forward and some a retro acknowledgement to Pink Floyd’s visual history, all relating to a time and space experience, embracing up to the minute technology that only a planetarium can offer,” says Pink Floyd album cover designer Aubrey Powell.
“In the modern parlance, it’s truly immersive; an all-encompassing surround sound treat that will transcend reality and take you way beyond the realms of 2D experience.”
