Daniel Pemberton’s energetic score for 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse led to a national concert tour for the film. Pemberton also returned for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, which currently has a concert tour in the United Kingdom. However, fans in the US won’t be left out. Via The Hollywood Reporter, Pemberton has revealed that the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Live in Concert tour is launching its American run this fall.
“I always thought it’d be impossible to do live, because they jump between so many different ideas and genres,” Pemberton told THR. “But a long time ago, I did a couple of cues at a one-off film music festival, and I was really surprised at how effective it worked. So that got my brain thinking about trying to do the whole film live, and we did a couple of tests that went down phenomenally.”
Pemberton noted that he won’t be on hand for every appearance in the concert tour’s 50-plus dates in the United States. But he will try to be present for at least a few.
“I’m definitely going to do the London show [June 30th’s Royal Festival Hall] for a number of reasons,” said Pemberton. “It’s also conveniently close to my house. It’s a 10-minute ride. But when we do a really big show and they can get me there, I’ll try and do it. So I’ll definitely be at the world premiere, and I’d hope to be at some of the bigger ones in America. But it’s really about the schedule and all those kinds of things. I’m also not the world’s greatest guitarist, but I’m probably one of the best face slappers you can get.”
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Live in Concert will start its US run on September 1 in Nashville, Tennessee. Additional dates for the concert series can be found on the show’s official site. Pemberton is also expected to return to compose the music for the next film, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, which doesn’t currently have a release date.
