The Next Chapter of the Oscar-Winning Spider-Verse Saga Concert Series Spins Into Las Vegas This Fall

Building on the success of sold-out shows worldwide, a new 50-plus city U.S. tour will kick off the next chapter of the Oscar-winning Spider-Verse saga. The highly anticipated sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Live in Concert, will land in The Smith Center for the Performing Arts in Las Vegas for two shows on October 12, 2024 at 2 and 7:30 p.m.

Tickets go on sale May 3 at 10 a.m. at TheSmithCenter.com.

The films have become a sensation for their incredible and groundbreaking soundtracks, which have been heralded for their unique mix of orchestral and electronic music and scratch DJing.

In Spider-Man™: Across the Spider-Verse Live in Concert audiences 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 an orchestra, a scratch DJ on turntables, percussion and electronic instruments.

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.

Pemberton took influence for both Spider-Verse film scores from growing up amid the London rave scene in the 1990s, when he regularly immersed himself in ambient and techno nights. Daniel also drew inspiration from the scratch DJs at The Blue Note Club in East London, where he first witnessed scratching vinyl being used as 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 that will be brought to life in an exhilarating style in these live concerts.

“Across the Spider-Verse is probably the most exciting, groundbreaking and impactful score I’ve written,” Pemberton says. “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?”

The film’s soundtrack was curated by Metro Boomin, and features the likes of Future, Nas, Swae Lee, James Blake, Lil Wayne and Lil Uzi Vert.

“Watching the film with the live band performing in a huge room of people is one of the most thrilling ways to experience it,” Pemberton says. “It’s a huge honor to know that audiences are going to get a show that delivers a unique emotional hit they will hopefully remember for a long time after.”

Miles Morales returns for the next chapter of the Oscar-winning Spider-Verse saga, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, Brooklyn’s full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is catapulted across the Multiverse, where he encounters the Spider Society, a team of Spider-People charged with protecting the Multiverse’s very existence. But when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders and must set out on his own to save those he loves most. Anyone can wear the mask – it’s how you wear it that makes you a hero.
