WISH YOU WERE HERE will perform a special 15th ANNIVERSARY SHOW on SATURDAY AUGUST 14 at the CUYAHOGA COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS in Berea OH. In addition to celebrating 15 years as one of America's most successful Pink Floyd tributes, the show will also commemorate the 35th Anniversary of the WISH YOU WERE HERE album by playing that in it's entirety, along with other Pink Floyd classics.
"Traditionally our 'Annual Summer Show' has celebrated a milestone Pink Floyd tour, show, or album - such as the '77 Animals Tour or The Wall - at one of Cleveland's large outdoor venues, such as Blossom, Nautica and TowerCity Amphitheater," according to WYWH bassist/vocalist Eric "Eroc" Sosinski. "Fittingly, we will be celebrating 2 milestones associated with WISH YOU WERE HERE - both the band and the album, so there will be some cool surprises with our stage show and setlist. This will be the band's first performance on the Grandstand Stage at the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds, directly partnered with WNCX 98.FM, Cleveland's Classic Rock station. We've had a great relationship with WNCX over the last 15 years and they have certainly contributed to our success here in Northeast Ohio."
WNCX Program Director and Air Personality Bill Louis has long been a vital supporter of the band, often hosting live in-studio broadcasts and interviews. "You don't last 15 years without knowing exactly what your audience wants. If you want an authentic Pink Floyd experience, then you want to see WISH YOU WERE HERE," said Louis.

WISH YOU WERE HERE has gained international recognition (in The Rough Guide To Pink Floyd) for it’s detailed recreations of Pink Floyd’s greatest albums and tours, performing the 1973 Dark Side Of The Moon show on the very same stage at Blossom Music Center in 2006, and the 1977 Animals tour show at the Nautica Pavilion in Cleveland in July 2005. In 2008 the band staged the most elaborate production of The Wall ever performed by an American Pink Floyd tribute act, at TimeWarner Cable Amphitheater. Formed in 1987 under the moniker of “The Harvest Pink Floyd Revue”, and continuing in 1995 as WISH YOU WERE HERE, the band is one of the longest continually-performing Pink Floyd tribute acts in the world.
