After 50 years, "madness" revives in the planetarium
On February 27, 1973, Pink Floyd's eighth studio album, Madness, will be unveiled at a press conference at the London Planetarium. The stars, constellations, and visuals of the universe were projected onto the planetarium dome, along with the music of "Madness."

The album "Crazy" has a close relationship with the planetarium. As a place to experience the true value of this album, and as a place to experience the fusion of visuals and sounds that Pink Floyd has been trying since their debut, there is no doubt that the planetarium is the most suitable space.
