A new 50+ city U.S. tour will kick off beginning this fall.
Get ready, web-heads, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is returning to screens! On Monday, it was announced that after the success of last year's live orchestral concert tour of Into the Spider-Verse, its sequel will be getting the same treatment with a 50+ U.S. city tour.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse: Live in Concert will kick off in London on June 30, before touring the rest of the United Kingdom. The tour will then make its U.S. debut in the fall, starting on Sept. 1 in Nashville, Tennessee.
Audiences will get to watch Across the Spider-Verse presented on a HD screen, accompanied by a range of musicians and instrumentalists performing music from the film's score and soundtrack live to picture. This will include an orchestra, a scratch DJ on turntables, percussion and electronic instruments.
"Across The Spider-Verse is probably the most exciting, ground breaking and impactful score I've written," says the Emmy-winning composer, Daniel Pemberton, who created the film's score. "I've always believed that there should be no barriers to music, but it's rare to get the opportunity that you get within the Spider-Verse -- where else could you have powerful orchestral themes side by side with punk drum solos, virtuoso record scratching next to twisted electronics, off-kilter whistling next to hip-hop beats?"
A press release shares that the Oscar-nominated composer took influence for both Spider-Verse film scores from "growing up amid the London rave scene in the 90s, where he regularly immersed himself in ambient and techno nights." He also drew inspiration from "the scratch DJ's at The Blue Note Club in East London, where he first witnessed scratching vinyl being used in an artistic form. This, coupled with heavy-drumming and punk guitars, gives the soundtrack its unique sound, fusing genres to make something bold and unparalleled which will be brought to life in an exhilarating style in these live concerts."
"Watching the film with the live band performing in a huge room of people is one of the most thrilling ways to experience it and it's a huge honor to know that audiences are going to get a show that delivers a unique emotional hit they will hopefully remember for a long, long time after," Pemberton adds.
Across the Spider-Verse shows Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore) meeting more Spider-People as he reunites with Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld) for a new adventure. This time, he's battling the multiverse-traversing The Spot and dealing with an adversary that hits closer to home -- Oscar Isaac's Miguel O'Hara, aka Spider-Man 2099 and his Spider-Force of multiverse protectors, which includes Issa Rae's Jessica Drew, Spider-Punk (Daniel Kaluuya), and Spider-Man India (Karan Soni).
Metro Boomin curated the film's beloved soundtrack, which features appearances from Future, Nas, Swae Lee, James Blake, Lil Wayne, Lil Uzi Vert and more.
