DJ-music producer Kygo and CJ 4DPLEX, the world’s leading producer of premium film formats and cinema technologies, today debuted the official trailer and concert film poster for the highly anticipated, KYGO: BACK AT THE BOWL. Following Kygo’s sold-out concert from the Kygo World Tour at the iconic Hollywood Bowl, the film is set for a worldwide theatrical release on Friday, September 26 and is specifically produced for CJ 4DPLEX’s all-encompassing SCREENX format and programmed for the ultimate concert experience in 4DX.
Directed by Grammy-nominated and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Sam Wrench (“Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” “Billie Eilish Live at the O2”), the concert film delivers remixed and remastered soundscapes, complemented by breathtaking visuals that capture the energy of the full-house performance. The cinematic experience features extended imagery and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, all filmed in 8K with 18 cameras to fully take advantage of the 270-degree SCREENX format.
KYGO: BACK AT THE BOWL will debut at cinemas worldwide in all formats including PLF, 4DX, SCREENX and 2D screens. SCREENX enhances the traditional movie-going experience by seamlessly extending the screens onto the auditorium’s surrounding walls on the left and right sides. This premium 270-degree panoramic display amplifies visuals and fully immerses audiences in a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience making viewers feel like they are right there in the crowd. 4DX incorporates more than 21 different environmental effects, such as motion, vibration, water, wind, lightning, and scents, perfectly synchronized with the music and on-screen action for the ultimate concert experience.
“I’m so excited for fans to experience the magic of last fall’s Hollywood Bowl show in this immersive SCREENX and 4DX experience,” said Kygo.
The concert showcases Kygo and featured artists performing hits from across his career including “Higher Love” and “It Ain’t Me”, and includes guest appearances from multi-Grammy winner Ryan Tedder for the first-ever live performance of their song “Chasing Paradise”; Ava Max, who performs alongside Kygo for a live performance of their hit song “Whatever,” off Kygo’s new self-titled album; Zara Larsson, performing alongside Kygo for a live performance of their song “Like It Is”; as well as Calum Scott, Justin Jesso, Parson James, & more.
