The Beatles did live concert transmission to cinemas in 1964, Washington Concert - it isn't new.

I’d love it if they did a film in the same vein as the Depeche Mode ‘Spirits in the Forest’ film, where Anton Corbijn weaved the concert footage in with stories of how their songs had impacted on the lives of various fans around the world. I’ve always been blown away by the diverse fanbase that Neil and Chris have, so I’m sure they could find lots of fans who have been inspired by their songs to tell their stories.

I think without drunk being in the set list it ran approximately 1 hour 45 minutes??? I could be wrong though. I meant to time it (out of curiosity) when I went, but completely forgot. I’m really hoping for a mini doc, or backstage footage or something before the concert starts.

Many German cinemas already sale tickets. Got two for a UCI cinema in Hamburg (17€ each).

Vue UK are showing it in the app but can’t book tickets!

Looks like it's coming to the Netherlands too now:

It came online to buy tickets at midnight here! So I've got 2 seats booked for the 31st January at Hoyts Chadstone. So excited!

In my Vue account it shows my reminders and shows the ticket release date as 26th January!

Dunno about Vue, but I just booked an Odeon Luxe ticket in London for Jan 31.

Yeah waiting for Vue as well

But I see tickets on sale for Showcase Cinema and Picturehouse if helpful for anyone

OK I've been avoiding watching clips incase I get to see the concert in person, so forgive my ignorance - but are there no dancers on this tour?
