Squaring the Circle (The Story of Hipgnosis)
Now playing in theaters

Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey “Po” Powell form the iconic album art design studio Hipgnosis and become rock royalty during the 1970s. They create some of the most recognizable album covers of all time, including Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon.”

Celebrated photographer, creative director and filmmaker Anton Corbijn’s first feature documentary SQUARING THE CIRCLE (THE STORY OF HIPGNOSIS) tells the story of Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey “Po” Powell, the creative geniuses behind the iconic album art design studio, Hipgnosis, responsible for some of the most recognizable album covers of all time. They formed Hipgnosis in Cambridge during the ferment of the sixties and became rock royalty during the boom time of the seventies. They conjured into existence sights that no one had previously thought possible, produced visuals which popularized music that had previously been considered fringe, and were at the white-hot center of the maddest, funniest and most creative era in the history of popular music.

During this period, record companies didn’t dictate to acts like Peter Gabriel, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Paul McCartney what their LP covers should look like – Storm and Po did. They made money; they lost money. They did great things; they did silly things. They fell out bitterly; they made up. They never played a note, but they changed music. The film features brand new interviews with Roger Waters, David Gilmour & Nick Mason of Pink Floyd, Jimmy Page & Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney, Peter Gabriel, Graham Gouldman of 10cc, Noel Gallagher, and many more.

We at AFG want to congratulate Roger Waters and band and crew for a successful 83 date tour around the USA and Europe which has now concluded June 10th in Manchester, England.

If you haven’t already we rely on fans to send in photos and or videos they took at the shows they attend, along with the ticket stubs so we can showcase them in our tour rooms. Be sure to email me tony@pinkfloydz.com  if you have anything you would like us to post along with a review of the show. Congrats again Roger, and good luck in South America this fall. News on South American dates below! 

The current run of the show that has been presented as an ‘in the round’ extravaganza in the US and Europe will now be presented as a more traditional stage setup with the stage being at one end of the stadium. See dates and tickets below! Stay tuned as we suspect more shows to be added to South America leg of the tour!

“This Is Not A Drill is a groundbreaking new rock & roll/cinematic extravaganza, performed in the round,” Waters wrote in a statement. “It is a stunning indictment of the corporate dystopia in which we all struggle to survive, and a call to action to love, protect, and share our precious and precarious planet home. The show includes a dozen great songs from Pink Floyd’s Golden Era alongside several new ones — words and music, same writer, same heart, same soul, same man. Could be his last hurrah. Wow! My first farewell tour! Don’t miss it. Love, R.”
