Australian Rock Collective, or ARC is a supergroup comprised of Darren Middleton (Powderfinger), Mark Wilson (Jet), Davey Lane (You Am I) and Kram (Spiderbait). 

This June and July, they're going on tour across the country taking on one of the most well-known rock albums of all time: The Dark Side Of The Moon.

After performing Dark Side in full, the band will return to the stage and perform a bunch of other Pink Floyd classic tunes. ARC's The Dark Side Of The Moon tour follows their renditions of Neil Young’s Harvest and The BeatlesLet It Be last year, with the band tackling Abbey Road in 2019 and early 2020.

Pre-sale tickets are available now via Live Nation, with general sale tickets available from 11 am tomorrow (Wednesday, 22 February). Find tour dates below.

Last month, Pink Floyd unveiled the 50th-anniversary box set commemorating their legendary 1973 album, The Dark Side Of The Moon, with a release date of 24 March.

The box set contains the original album remastered by James Guthrie on both CD (gatefold sleeve with 12-page booklet) and vinyl (gatefold sleeve with original posters and stickers). It also features Blu-Ray discs and DVDs for audiophiles with Surround Sound, DTS, Dolby Atmos, and more.

There are also two books: a 160-page hardcover book with rare black and white photographs from the 1973 & 1974 tours in the UK and US, with the band photographed by Peter Christopherson, Jill Furmanovsky, Aubrey Powell, and Storm Thorgerson, as well as a 76-page music book that's a songbook of the entire album. 

For the first time, fans can also listen to THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON LIVE AT WEMBLEY EMPIRE POOL, LONDON, 1974 on vinyl, but that has to be pre-ordered separately from the box set.

For replica collectors, the Dark Side Of The Moon box set also has two replicas of the 7" singles of Money with Any Colour You Like and Us And Them with Time. Pre-order the box set and check out other items here.
