Pink Floyd Unveils ‘Wish You Were Here’ Video 50 Years On

The video punctuates a 50th‑anniversary campaign crowned by a UK chart‑topping reissue.

Overview

  • Pink Floyd released an official music video for the 1975 title track in late December 2025.
  • The clip mixes archival black‑and‑white footage with surreal images including a moon sliver, flames in an eye, and sperm racing toward an egg.
  • The video follows this month’s 50th‑anniversary box set, which features alternate versions of the song with David Gilmour on pedal steel and a Stéphane Grappelli violin take, plus Mike “The Mic” Millard’s restored L.A. Sports Arena recording.
  • The reissue reached Number One on the UK’s Official Albums Chart on December 19, extending Pink Floyd’s span between first and last chart‑topping albums to 2,620 weeks.
  • The anniversary rollout also includes pop‑up stores across the UK, Europe, and the US offering an exclusive edition of the Brain Damage fanzine.
