Published on 08/19/2026 at 13:39 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Pink Floyd remain one of rock’s most influential bands, and in late 2026 their music will once again be heard live across Germany through a dedicated tribute tour. According to the tour overview on Eventim and listing platforms, the project One Of These – A celebration of Pink Floyd is taking its Animals Tour 2026 to multiple German cities from August to December.
Animals Tour 2026 brings Pink Floyd’s sound to German venues
The clearest German anchor for Pink Floyd fans in 2026 is the Animals-themed tribute run One Of These – A celebration of Pink Floyd / Animals Tour 2026, which focuses on the band’s classic 1977 album Animals and related material. A tour overview on the live-listing platform Perto shows several confirmed dates across Germany in the second half of 2026, including Bonn, Bad Hönningen, Herford, Remscheid, Isernhagen, Cologne, Eschweiler and Daun.
Among the early stops is a concert on August 28, 2026 at kleines theater Bad Godesberg in Bonn, described by German event platform Rausgegangen as part of the Animals Tour 2026 and priced around EUR 29.00 for standard tickets and EUR 15.00 for reduced tickets, underlining that this is a fully ticketed professional tribute production rather than a casual cover set. The Bonn event listing emphasizes the show’s role as a Pink Floyd celebration for German audiences.
Key dates and cities on the German tribute route
The route published by Perto shows One Of These performing in Enspel at Stöffelpark on August 8, 2026, before moving on to Bonn on August 28 and Bad Hönningen on August 29, all as part of the Animals Tour 2026. Later dates include Herford on September 25, Remscheid on October 8, Isernhagen on October 10, Cologne on October 16 and November 27, Eschweiler on November 18 and Daun on December 4, 2026. The Perto tour overview frames these shows explicitly as Pink Floyd tribute concerts.
This means that, although Pink Floyd themselves are not touring, German fans will have at least ten separate chances between August and December 2026 to experience the band’s material live in different settings, from small theatres such as kleines theater Bad Godesberg in Bonn to clubs like Groove Bar in Cologne or Forum Daun in the Eifel region. The density of dates in North Rhine-Westphalia, including Cologne, Herford, Eschweiler and Isernhagen, illustrates the continuing demand for Pink Floyd’s repertoire in Germany’s live circuit.

How the Animals-inspired tribute sounds
One Of These position their Animals Tour as a faithful recreation of Pink Floyd’s sound, built around the guitar-driven, politically charged atmosphere of the original 1977 Animals album. In typical tribute arrangements, tracks like Dogs, Pigs (Three Different Ones) and Sheep are performed with extended solos, vintage-style keyboard textures and the spacious dynamics associated with Pink Floyd’s late-1970s live shows.
These concerts often add selections from other Pink Floyd eras for balance, such as early psychedelic pieces and later stadium staples, so that an Animals-focused evening can still include recognisable melodies for casual listeners. Compared with a full production like The Australian Pink Floyd Show, which brings large-scale inflatables and laser rigs into arenas, the Animals Tour tends to work with theatre-scale staging, but the musical priorities remain similar: long-form arrangements, detailed guitar tones and immersive lighting that echo the band’s historic stagecraft.
Where Pink Floyd’s legacy stands today
As of mid-August 2026, the next confirmed Pink Floyd-related live date in Germany is the Animals Tour concert by One Of These on August 28, 2026 at kleines theater Bad Godesberg in Bonn, which tour overviews describe as part of the ongoing celebration of the band’s catalogue.
