Fall is for movie marathons. I’m talking about an extended Lord of the Rings marathon with breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses… You get it. Or watching The Dark Side Of The Rainbow, where you sync up The Wizard of Oz alongside Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side Of The Moon (believe the hype).

The movie pairing is a wild ride, but this is the next best thing to time travelling back to a ’70s Pink Floyd show. Enter to win tickets to Roger Waters Presents LEGACY, bringing Pink Floyd classics to Queen Elizabeth Theatre on 8/31, performed by Harry Waters’ ten-piece band. And yes, it’s set to Roger Waters’ original visuals on high-def LED screens. Now that’s a trip!*
