Pink Floyd Join TikTok To Celebrate ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’ Milestone

It’s official: Pink Floyd have joined TikTok.

Their delayed arrival on the platform coincides with the 50th anniversary of the band entering the studio to record seminal album The Dark Side Of The Moon.

A statement from TikTok confirmed that their “amazing song catalogue” had been added to its sound library, including Another Brick In The Wall (Part II), Money, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Comfortably Numb, High Hopes, The Great Gig In The Sky and Wish You Were Here.

“The TikTok community will be able to use Pink Floyd sounds in their own video creations from the band's staggering 15 studio albums,” TikTok noted.

“But it's not just the incredible music, Pink Floyd will be regularly posting unique video content and we can't wait to see it. Known throughout their long distinguished career as using spectacular visuals, we know our community is in for a treat.

“So if you're a Pink Floyd fan, check out the music on our sounds pages and get creating.”

Only last month Pink Floyd released their first song in 28 years.

David Gilmour and Nick Mason teamed up for Hey, Hey Rise Up, raising funds for the Ukraine Humanitarian Fund. 

The song marks the first original music from the band since the release of The Division Bell in 1994. 

Gilmour and Mason wrote the track at the end of March, joined in the studio by bassist Guy Pratt and keyboardist Nitin Sawhney. 

“We, like so many, have been feeling the fury and the frustration of this vile act of an independent, peaceful democratic country being invaded and having its people murdered by one of the world's major powers," Gilmour said.

"I hope it will receive wide support and publicity. We want to raise funds for humanitarian charities, and raise morale. We want express our support for Ukraine and in that way, show that most of the world thinks that it is totally wrong for a superpower to invade the independent democratic country that Ukraine has become.”
