Retro Floyd at the Charlestown Rathskeller

Retro Floyd at the Charlestown Rathskeller brings the atmosphere, sound, and psychedelic scale of Pink Floyd to Charlestown Rathskeller Tavern on Saturday, May 16 from 8:00 to 11:00 PM. Set among the woods, outdoor seating areas, and fire pits of the legendary Rathskeller property, the night blends classic rock nostalgia with open-air spring nightlife in one of Rhode Island’s most recognizable live music settings.

Headlining the evening is Retro Floyd, a Massachusetts-based tribute group known throughout the Northeast for recreating the layered vocals, atmospheric soundscapes, and immersive concert feel associated with Pink Floyd’s legendary live performances. The band’s shows pull from both major hits and deeper catalog favorites, delivering the sweeping guitars, harmonies, and mood-driven arrangements that longtime Floyd fans expect. Rather than simply covering songs, Retro Floyd aims to recreate the emotional and sonic experience of a full Pink Floyd concert.

The Charlestown Rathskeller adds another layer to the experience, with guests encouraged to arrive early for food, drinks, and outdoor gathering before the music begins. Between the rustic setting, spring weather, and expansive property, the event feels built for groups of friends looking to settle in for a long night of music and atmosphere. For fans of classic rock, psychedelic sound, and live tribute performances that lean heavily into authenticity, Retro Floyd offers one of the more immersive music nights happening on the shoreline this month.
