TUNICA, Miss. — Gold Strike Casino Resort, the Mid-South’s premier casino resort destination, will bring a legendary classic rock experience to the region as The Machine performs the music of Pink Floyd at 8 p.m. on Friday, June 26, 2026, at Gold Strike Theatre inside the casino.
Celebrated for nearly four decades as one of the world’s most authentic Pink Floyd tribute bands, The Machine has earned a devoted following for its faithful musicianship, expansive setlists and immersive live performances. The New York-based quartet delivers a wide-ranging mix from Pink Floyd’s iconic 15-album catalog — delivering fan favorites, deep cuts and full-album recreations that showcase the band’s technical mastery and creative interpretation.
Known for its dynamic blend of precise execution and adventurous improvisation reminiscent of Pink Floyd’s early 1970s era, The Machine enhances each show with theatrical elements, intricate lighting and atmospheric stage design. The band is also recognized for its interactive approach, often taking audience requests and even performing an A-to-Z set featuring one song for every letter of the alphabet.
Over the course of its extensive touring history, The Machine has sold out theaters, showcase venues and casinos across North America, Europe and Asia. The group has performed at major festivals, including Bonnaroo, Riverbend and Gathering of the Vibes, and has appeared alongside esteemed symphony orchestras such as those in Atlanta, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Jacksonville, Charlotte and San Diego, as well as the Buffalo Philharmonic.
The band features founding member Tahrah Cohen on drums, along with longtime collaborators Scott Chasolen (keys, vocals) and Ryan Ball (guitar, vocals). Bassist and lead vocalist Chris DeAngelis rounds out the lineup as the group continues to honor the legacy of Pink Floyd and celebrate the memory of co-founder Joe Pascarell.
The Machine’s uncanny ability to recreate Pink Floyd’s sound has earned praise from fans and critics, including Rolling Stone, which applauded the act’s “chilling accuracy.” It’s an experience that classic rock fans, Pink Floyd fans and those new to Pink Floyd will not want to miss.
