It's not always easy to get out to see your favorite artist or band perform. In fact, it's pretty difficult these days! Tickets are expensive, fees are high, and that's if you can even get them at all before resellers and scalpers game the online waiting room systems.
Fortunately, more and more concert movies are coming to theaters. That said, right now we just have one in the queue: a filmed performance from Swedish goth rock stars Ghost that is both huge and intimate.
Here's how you can watch some big concerts in movie theaters.

The screening will also include the previously unreleased Backyard sessions featuring Paul McCartney on acoustic guitar performing favorites from his catalogue, including the previously unreleased song, 'Blackpool.' McCartney also covers some of his favorite songs, including 'Twenty Flight Rock,' the song he performed for John Lennon the first time they met. The film, originally shot on 1970s videotape, has been scanned and restored at 4K.
