El Monstero: A Tribute To Pink Floyd: A must-see for all Pink Floyd fans. A headlining band based out of St. Louis, they’ve begun touring throughout the Midwest, but always perform their traditional December tour at The Pageant. The show is an edgier, more theatrical alternative to other tribute shows that are out there. The music mainly focuses on Gilmore/Waters era Floyd but usually includes some music from other periods of the band’s history. The performances include awesome lighting and pyrotechnics and they spare no expense on production, sound, visual, wardrobe, and set design. It is a show you must see live. Tickets start at $39 and are selling out quickly.
