The struggle is too real: Your favorite musician is headlining a festival like Coachella or planning a world tour, complete with a stop at an arena in your city. But after checking the schedule, signing up to receive a presale code, and queuing up in the virtual waiting room, you aren’t able to secure any tickets before they’re all sold out — again.
Luckily, there are plenty of concert films and specials available to stream at a moment’s notice. Whether the show is happening in London, Miami, Los Angeles, or elsewhere, these movies usher you to the best seat in the house, and often include exclusive behind-the-scenes moments. (Barbra Streisand ordering from an ice cream truck! Beyoncé leading her dancers in prayer! No concert ticket can ever get you that kind of access.)
Enjoy these live performances from the comfort of your couch, without having to worry about any other concertgoers blocking your view or singing loudly and off-key in your ear. And hey, no judgment if you want to replay a favorite show over again — after all, that “Play From Beginning” button exists for a reason.
The pop star spent 2019 on the road with her Sweetener World Tour, performing hits from her fourth and fifth studio albums Sweetener and Thank U, Next. This documentary concert film captures the O2 Arena spectacular — including Ariana Grande’s live take on tracks like “7 Rings,” “God Is a Woman,” and “NASA” — and also follows her offstage for candid, behind-the-scenes moments that provide a glimpse into her work ethic and relatable sense of humor.
Avicii’s melodic and bass-heavy electronic house music is energetic and infectious. This short film transports audiences to Aug. 28, 2016, the unforgettable night when the Swedish DJ took the stage at the Ushuaïa nightclub in Ibiza for what would be his final performance. Pair this with the companion documentary Avicii - I’m Tim, which follows the life of Tim Bergling (the DJ’s birth name) from his growing up years as a self-described computer nerd in Stockholm to the height of his fame — headlining sold-out EDM festivals.
This 2017 film immortalizes Barbra Streisand’s final tour — 16 shows in 14 cities, all of which were completely sold out. Her set at Miami’s American Airlines Arena includes Broadway standards and beloved ballads from throughout her legendary career in music and film, each song prefaced with humorous anecdotes and behind-the-scenes tidbits of how it came to be. As a bonus, Streisand brings Jamie Foxx onstage for a powerful duet of the Sound of Music show tune“Climb Ev'ry Mountain.”
In 2019, Ben Platt released his deeply personal debut album, Sing to Me Instead. The Tony Award winner and alum of The Politician spent that summer on a 14-city tour, with a final stop at the iconic New York City venue. In addition to songs from the album like “Bad Habit” and “Grow As We Go,” he also performs covers of Brandi Carlile’s “The Joke” and Elton John’s “Take Me to the Pilot.”

(Watch the companion documentary BTS: THE RETURN to go into the studio with the group as they record the album.)
In 2019, Dolly Parton became the first country artist to be named MusiCares Person of the Year. The star-studded tribute concert includes Miley Cyrus, Pink, Leon Bridges, Norah Jones, Linda Ronstadt, Mavis Staples, Trisha Yearwood, and more.

This film captures Harry Styles’s first live performance of his fourth studio album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.

In 2018, Beyoncé made history as the first Black woman to headline Coachella — and thankfully, she took a camera crew along with her. This documentary tracks the artist through months of detailed planning, grueling rehearsals, and candid conversations about art and motherhood. Come for footage of her critically acclaimed set — a two-hour hit parade, complete with surprise reunions and an homage to historically Black colleges and universities — and stay for the insights into her singular creative genius as she puts together an extraordinary show.
Thanks to The 20/20 Experience World Tour, Justin Timberlake was the highest-grossing solo touring artist of 2014.

Comes Around” and “SexyBack.”
In 2018, the beloved norteño band commemorated the 50th anniversary of Johnny Cash's historic concert at Folsom State Prison in California by following in the footsteps of The Man in Black. The film includes heartfelt interviews with members of the incarcerated population, and the group’s rendition of “Folsom Prison Blues” — the first-ever Spanish language version of the song, created with the support of Cash’s son, John Carter Cash, and written in collaboration with his daughter-in-law, Ana Cristina Cash.
Singer-songwriter Loudon Wainwright III admittedly had a tough relationship with his late father, Life magazine columnist Loudon Wainwright Jr. In this unique solo show, the Grammy Award winner presents a “posthumous collaboration” by alternating his songs with readings of his dad’s columns, and sharing photographs that span four generations of his family’s history. The 2018 special — which filmed the performance at North Hollywood’s El Portal Theatre — was directed by Christopher Guest and executive produced by Judd Apatow.
It’s brutal out here, trying to get tickets to headliners like Olivia Rodrigo. The Good 4 U tour hit the road in early 2024 with her second album, GUTS, and this film brings viewers along to her takeover of the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. Rodrigo sings her heart out on hits like “Driver’s License” and “Vampire,” and performs a duet of “Hot to Go!" with opening act Chappell Roan. Good idea, right?
Ed Sheeran regularly headlines major stages all over the world. In this 2025 special, he touts his guitar all over New York City for impromptu gigs on the subway, aboard a sightseeing bus, at a birthday party, and even to accompany a marriage proposal. The music experience is filmed in real time, moving through the city in a single, unbroken take — thanks to director Philip Barantini, who notably shot each episode of the acclaimed series Adolescence in a similar fashion.
The Boss — on Broadway? In 2017, Bruce Springsteen took the stage at Walter Kerr Theatre for what was supposed to be a brief residency of intimate shows — acoustic versions of his best-known songs, interspersed with personal stories from his autobiography Born to Run. The sold-out show was extended three times after its initial eight-week run, earning the musician a Special Tony Award in 2018. The show went on again for additional Broadway performances in 2021.
