Pink Talking Fish To Perform Pink Floyd’s ‘Animals’ In Full On 2027 Tour

Pink Talking Fish will open shows on their Animals 50 Tour with a complete performance of Pink Floyd’s Animals, then spend the second set mixing songs by Floyd, Talking Heads and Phish. The winter tour kicks off January 14 at Pickle Barrel Nightclub in Killington, Vermont.

Released in January 1977, Animals took cues from George Orwell’s Animal Farm. “Dogs,” “Pigs (Three Different Ones)” and “Sheep” make up the bulk of the album, bookended by the two parts of “Pigs On The Wing.” Pink Talking Fish previously marked the 50th anniversaries of The Dark Side Of The Moon in 2023 and Wish You Were Here in 2025.

The band will switch formats midway through for Pink Talking Fish Live From 1977, a two-night stand at Ardmore Music Hall in Ardmore, Pennsylvania. The January 22 show follows the Animals 50 format and falls on the same day Sony Music issues Pink Floyd’s 50th anniversary edition of the album. The January 23 show, billed as PTF Ensemble 1977, will feature special guests and draw its entire setlist from songs released in 1977. The band plans to announce the guests later this week.

The other change of format comes January 30 at the Fire On The Mountain Festival at Sugarloaf Resort in Carrabassett Valley, Maine. Pink Talking Fish will headline the festival devoted to the Grateful Dead as the Pink Talking Fish Are Dead Ensemble with Sammi Garett, Joe Agnello and The Gotham Horns.

The Animals 50 Tour heads through Virginia and North Carolina in early February before returning to the Northeast. A March swing through Wisconsin and Chicago leads to the tour closer on March 14 at Old Rock House in St. Louis.
