« This is Spinal Tap » will celebrate its 35th Anniversary at the festival, and « Reality Bites » will also celebrate its 25th anniversary
Spinal Tap, the loudest band in England, is reuniting for a 35th anniversary screening of their film “This Is Spinal Tap” at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival and will also perform following the screening.
Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer will turn it up to 11 again in a one-night-only concert in which they’ll perform as themselves in tribute to the fictional band Spinal Tap. So they won’t specifically be in character as Nigel Tufnel, David St. Hubbins and Derek Smalls. But they’ll further be joined by “This is Spinal Tap” director Rob Reiner for a conversation to follow.
“Spinal Tap proves there is definitely a fine line between stupid and clever,” director, co-writer and star Reiner said in a statement.
