Every day of this summer we go back to the same summer day somewhere in history

14 July 2026

PINK FLOYD‘s mentally dramatic movie, about a troubled rock star who descends
into madness in the midst of his physical and social isolation from everyone, named
THE WALL premiered in London on 14 July 1982.

Bob Geldof, frontman of The Boomtown Rats‘ and
later co-organiser of Live Aid 1985 had the lead role.

The film blended live action with animation and was based on the prog-rock supremos’ 1979 album of the same name. It was a commercial success on both sides of the Atlantic, and earned two BAFTA Awards and remains a cult favorite among the band’s fans.

David Gilmour, Roger Waters, and Nick Mason of the band all attended the event,
alongside Pete Townshend, Sting, and Queen’s Roger Taylor, among other stars.
