This year’s Tribeca Film Festival lineup showcases an exciting array of rock-related films that will surely captivate music enthusiasts. The festival, which runs from June 4 to June 15, will kick off with the highly anticipated documentary Billy Joel: And So It Goes. This film not only highlights the extraordinary career of Billy Joel but also features a live performance from the artist himself, adding to the festival’s allure.

In addition to Billy Joel’s documentary, attendees can look forward to screenings of various films centered on iconic rock acts, including Depeche Mode: M, Billy Idol Should Be Dead, and Metallica Saved My Life. Other notable presentations include Counting Crows: Have You Seen Me Lately? and Matter of Time, which focuses on Eddie Vedder. Both Billy Idol and Eddie Vedder are set to perform following their respective film screenings, while members from Metallica and Depeche Mode will engage with audiences in post-premiere discussions, enriching the overall festival experience.

“Tribeca has consistently served as more than just a film festival; it acts as a supportive home for artists navigating an evolving entertainment landscape,” said Jane Rosenthal, Co-Founder of the Tribeca Festival. “For over 20 years, we have been dedicated to promoting emerging talents, honoring established storytellers, and fostering a vibrant creative community where artists can connect, grow, and thrive. We are thrilled to unveil this cultivated ecosystem to audiences this June.”

Accessing Festival Films for Remote Viewers

Fans unable to attend the festival in person will still have the opportunity to enjoy Billy Joel: And So It Goes, which is scheduled to air on HBO later this summer in a two-part format, although the exact release date remains unconfirmed. This airing will allow a broader audience to engage with Joel’s story and artistry.

Moreover, Metallica Saved My Life will be screened in theaters across numerous cities coinciding with Metallica‘s concert tour, providing fans a chance to experience the film in a communal setting. This strategy not only enhances the viewing experience but also strengthens the connection between the film and the band’s live performances.
