The concert film, directed by Grammy-nominated and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Sam Wrench (“Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” “Billie Eilish Live at the O2”), presents remixed and remastered soundscapes enhanced by stunning visuals that capture the energy of the packed performance. All filmed in 8K with 18 cameras to fully utilize the 270-degree SCREENX format, the cinematic experience includes extended imagery and special behind-the-scenes footage.
