The films have become a sensation, not least for their incredible and ground-breaking soundtracks which have been heralded for their unique mix of orchestral meets electronic music and scratch DJ’ing.
The world premiere of Spider-Man™: Across the Spider-Verse Live In Concert will take place on 30 June at Royal Festival Hall and will see the film presented on a huge 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 a full orchestra, a scratch DJ on turntables, percussion and electronic instruments.
The show will then tour across the UK, beginning in Manchester on 3 September before travelling onto Glasgow, Birmingham, Bath and Sheffield. Tickets for the tour are on general sale on Friday 26th April.
The score for the film was created by Emmy-winning and Academy Award® and Golden Globe®-nominated composer, Daniel Pemberton, known for his work on movies such as Ferrari, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Oceans 8, Enola Holmes, The Bad Guys and Steve Jobs. The album for Spider-Man™: Into the Spider-Verse has now been streamed 200 million times worldwide, racking up over 11 million UK streams and 75 million in the US.
Pemberton 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. Daniel 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.
On bringing the sequel, Spider Man: Across the Spider-Verse to life for a UK tour, Pemberton says: “Across The Spider-Verse is probably the most exciting, ground breaking and impactful score I’ve written. 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? 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 honour 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.”
