Part of the event series: Movie Club
Brit Floyd, “The World’s Greatest Pink Floyd Show,” returns to the stage in 2022 to perform its brand-new production of what is widely regarded as the world’s greatest rock tribute show. Relive highlights from The Wall, The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Division Bell, before experiencing a show stopping 23-minute ‘note-for-note’ performance of the iconic era-defining song “Echoes” from Pink Floyd’s breakthrough album Meddle.
Having performed over 1,000 shows since its 2011 launch in Liverpool, England, Brit Floyd has circled the world, selling out tours across Europe, North America, South America, and the Middle East. Along the way, they’ve performed in some of the world’s greatest venues, including London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall, the awe-inspiring Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the historic Greek Theatre, and NYC’s Radio City Music Hall.
Faithfully recreating the scale and pomp of the final 1994 Pink Floyd tour, this performance is complete with a stunning light show, iconic circle screen, lasers, inflatables, and theatrics.

Nantahala Outdoor Center’s premier Mountaintop Zip Line Tour takes the heart-pounding intensity up a notch when it’s under the night time sky! On dates near a full moon, NOC offers limited trips on this stunning Moonlight Mountaintop Zip Line Tour.
Zip under the night sky while taking in the sights and sounds of the calm Blue Ridge Mountains. NOC’s expert aerial guides use glow sticks to signal you, and you use glow sticks to paint the night sky. This adventure truly feels magical.
NOC’s Moonlight Mountaintop Zip Line Tour consists of two-miles of mountaintop-to-mountaintop zip lines, culminating in the heart-pounding 1/2 mile Mega Zip underneath the stars – silhouetting stunning 360-degree views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Highlights
- NOC’s Moonlight Mountaintop Zip Line is an unparalleled experience of mountaintop-to-mountaintop zips under a full moon.
- Glow sticks are used by Aerial Guides to signal you forward through the course.

What to Expect
