New Spinal Tap Movie Isn’t What You Expect, Gets Teaser Trailer
A new Spinal Tap movie is being released next year, though it’s probably not what fans are expecting.
This Is Spinal Tap is a mockumentary comedy movie that was released in 1984. Directed by Rob Reiner, it stars Michael McKean as David St. Hubbins, Christopher Guest as Nigel Turner, and Harry Shearer as Derek Smalls. A sequel, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, was just recently released earlier this year.
What is the new Spinal Tap movie?
Bleecker Street has now announced that the company has acquired the U.S. distribution rights to Spinal Tap at Stonehenge: The Final Finale, a brand-new concert movie that will be released in theaters and IMAX in 2026.
“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,” a description of the movie reads. “The film features show-stopping guest performances from Shania Twain, Eric Clapton, and Josh Groban.”

Bleecker Street CEO Kent Sanderson said in a statement, “I’m told this is it. They’re really serious this time. 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.”
Vertigo Live CEO Ian Brenchley added, “Bringing Spinal Tap to Stonehenge felt inevitable – the ultimate meeting of rock mythology and cinematic scale. 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.”
