PLSN (Production, Lighting and Staging News) is the leading publication of the live events industry and recently covered all of the production, lighting and staging details of the recent Rush concerts in depth.

Is every year getting shorter? Never seem to find the time? Then join us on New Year's Eve at Hawaii Theatre from 7 to 9:30pm and end 2026 with one of Hawaii's best shows!

Dark Side of the Beach brought down the house at Hawaii Theatre earlier this year, performing the iconic hits of Pink Floyd along with a high-tech visual and light show that left the near-sellout crowd screaming for more. So we're bringing them back with even more classic songs for an extended Hana Hou performance - it will be one of the most memorable New Year's Eve shows ever! If you missed it last time (or have friends who couldn't make it) here's another chance to experience Hawaii's ultimate Pink Floyd tribute project.
