Floydium, the premier Pink Floyd tribute band in Canada, has announced new shows in Ontario throughout the month of May.
Kawartha Lakes, Canada, May 30, 2025 -- The newly announced shows will take place across Ontario throughout May and June, culminating in the 50th Anniversary Tribute show, set to take place at Mohawk College in Hamilton. The shows will feature Floydium exploring Pink Floyd's most psychedelic tracks, including well-known hits off of The Wall, Dark Side Of The Moon, and others.

Floydium explains that their main goal in each performance is to replicate not only the sound of Pink Floyd but also the soaring majesty that made the band so iconic. This is a monumental task, particularly given the complexity of the arrangements on tracks such as 'Great Gig in the Sky', but the band says they have gone to great pains to respect the source material and recreate it as faithfully as possible.
The band is fronted by accomplished vocalists Kyle Layton Thomas and James Naro, both of whom have been long-time contributors to the Canadian and international music scenes. Given the distinct and varied vocal performances featured on most Pink Floyd tracks, the pair have worked tirelessly to develop a style that honors the legacy of the band.
The two are backed by Jennifer Foster and Jenn Kee, both of whom have their own distinguished musical careers ranging from education to screen performance.

On drums, the band features seasoned music educator Greg Wilkinson, accompanied by keyboardist Joel Dalton—whose multi-instrumental, omni-genre background allows him to recreate Rick Wright's inventive style with relative ease—and saxophonist Lucas Durand, showcasing an emotional, raw playing style on tracks like 'Money' and 'Us and Them'.
The job of replicating the legendary guitar work of David Gilmour and, in the band's earlier years, Syd Barrett, goes to Joseph Piilonen, whose love of Pink Floyd inspired him to begin playing in the first place. He is assisted by rhythm guitarist Leon Dadoun, who also fills the role of lapsteel player, and bass aficionado Keiko Gutierrez.
One listener reviewed their experience, stating, 'I saw Floydium this past weekend at The Capitol Theatre in Chatham and was blown away. You can literally close your eyes and think Pink Floyd is on the stage. Will definitely be catching this act again. Great Gig in the Sky was fantastic.'
