Bleecker Street has acquired U.S. distribution rights to Vertigo Live and Rob Reiner’s “Spinal Tap at Stonehenge: The Final Finale.” The concert-film follows legendary fictional heavy metal band Spinal Tap (Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer reprising their iconic roles) as they put on a once-in-a-lifetime concert marking the first-ever rock show filmed at Stonehenge, the historic English heritage site forever linked to Spinal Tap’s iconic song of the same name. The film features show-stopping guest performances from Shania Twain, Eric Clapton, and Josh Groban and will be released by Bleecker Street in theaters and in IMAX in 2026.

The acquisition comes following Bleecker Street’s re-release of the original 1984 cult classic This Is Spinal Tap this past summer and the long-awaited sequel “Spinal Tap II: The End” Continues which launched in theaters last month.

“Spinal Tap at Stonehenge: The Final Finale” was produced by Vertigo Live, a leading producer of documentary concert films. Vertigo has collaborated with and released films for some of the world’s biggest artists, including Billy Idol, Duran Duran, Kaleo, and many more.

“I’m told this is it. They’re really serious this time,” said Kent Sanderson, CEO of Bleecker Street. “While this is ostensibly the end, how fitting is it that this actual-probable-send-off is shot, historically, at Stonehenge, the mysterious landmark that we now know must have been erected thousands of years ago purely to serve as the setting for the last act of Spinal Tap.”

“Bringing Spinal Tap to Stonehenge felt inevitable – the ultimate meeting of rock mythology and cinematic scale,” said Ian Brenchley, CEO of Vertigo Live. “An iconic band performing at one of the world’s most legendary landmarks, captured in IMAX and, of course, turned up to eleven. This is exactly what we set out to do: take music beyond the stage, beyond the ordinary, and turn it into living cinema. An experience unlike anything before it – and the perfect finale to rock’s most enduring legend.”

The deal was negotiated by Bleecker Street’s Miranda King and Avy Eschenasy with Vertigo Live.

Bleecker Street recently released horror-thriller “Bone Lake” and has built an eclectic and exciting slate as it heads into the end of 2025, including Max Walker-Silverman’s Sundance favorite “Rebuilding” starring Josh O’Connor, Lily Latorre, Meghann Fahy, Kali Reis, and Amy Madigan on November 14th; and “Fackham Hall,” a biting spoof of British period dramas starring Damian Lewis, Thomasin McKenzie, and Katherine Waterston, on December 5th. The 2026 slate includes a recently announced untitled action-comedy feature starring multi-Emmy winner and entertainment icon RuPaul and directed by Adam Shankman; Amy Wang’s directorial debut “Slanted,” which premiered at SXSW and took home the Grand Jury Prize in the Narrative Feature Competition; Oscar-winner Guy Nattiv’s “Harmonia” starring Bella Ramsey, Odessa Young, Carrie Coon and Lily James; “The Third Parent” starring Rob Lowe, Crispin Glover and Roselyn Sanchez; “Victorian Psycho,” a horror-thriller adapted from the acclaimed novel and starring Maika Monroe, Thomasin McKenzie, and Jason Isaacs; Academy Award-winner Alex Gibney’s “Musk,” centered on the world’s most controversial tech-entrepreneur; and the next, still-untitled feature from auteur Mike Leigh, with whom Bleecker partnered on the release of award-winning Hard Truths in 2024.
