Wish You Were Here 50 is a 50th anniversary box set reissue of English progressive rock band Pink Floyd's original 1975 album. It was released on 12 December 2025 by Sony Music. Two digital singles were released to support the box set.[1][2]
The box set contains 2 CDs and 4 LPs. The first three LPs and the two CDs feature the original 1975 record alongside nine additional tracks of rarities, such as alternate versions and demos.[3][4] Furthermore, the digital release of the set also contains a bootleg 1975 live performance at the Los Angeles Sports Arena remastered by Steven Wilson.[5][6] Moreover, the set also contains a Blu-ray featuring the 1975 album in Dolby Atmos, 5.1 surround sound, among other things by James Guthrie, and the Los Angeles Sports Arena Performance.[6] A hardcover book with photographs, a comic book tour programme and a Knebworth poster is also contained in the set.[6] A deluxe box set will also be released, containing additional material, including a fourth LP containing two live tracks from the bands performance at the Wembley Stadium in 1974 and, similar to the Dark Side of the Moon box set containing replica 7" singles, a replica of the Japanese-exlusive single "Have a Cigar"/"Welcome to the Machine".[4][7] The new cover art was done by Aubrey Powell of Hipgnosis and Peter Curzon of Stormstudios.[3]
