Sia’s 2016 Coachella Performance Returns to Cinemas as Remastered Film

A limited theatrical event starting July 23 reframes the set as a cinematic performance piece rather than a standard concert film.

Overview

  • Trafalgar Releasing unveiled a trailer on June 17 and confirmed tickets are on sale at NostalgicForThePresent.com for a short, timed run beginning July 23.
  • The film was remastered for its tenth anniversary and is being presented as a staged visual work that emphasizes choreography, image and film language over traditional concert coverage.
  • Sia co-directed the project with Daniel Askill and the presentation features dancer Maddie Ziegler, choreographer Ryan Heffington and actors including Kristen Wiig, Paul Dano, Ben Mendelsohn, Gaby Hoffmann and Tig Notaro.
  • The release formalizes footage that has circulated online for years by offering an official, cinema-centered experience aimed at fans of Sia and audiences interested in experimental music‑film hybrids.
  • Trafalgar’s short theatrical window and ticketed event model places the title in a growing trend of ‘event cinema’ that seeks collective, one‑time viewing experiences and could shape how other staged music projects are distributed.
