Rolling Stones - At the Max is returning to cinemas next month
The groundbreaking concert film was the first to be captured in IMAX
The Rolling Stones’ groundbreaking concert film Rolling Stones - At the Max will return to UK and global cinemas, exclusively in IMAX, next month.
Filmed at concerts in London, Turin and East Berlin during The Rolling Stones’ Steel Wheels / Urban Jungle Tour in the summer of 1990, Rolling Stones - At the Max was the first feature-length concert film ever to be captured in the IMAX format.
34 years after its release, the acclaimed 99-minute film will be screened at select IMAX venues and Cineworld cinemas across the UK on Wednesday 10th, Friday 12th and Sunday 14th December 2025.
Starring Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, Bill Wyman, and the late-great Charlie Watts, the film has been newly remastered with IMAX’s proprietary Digital Media Remastering (DMR) technology and features a brand-new sound mix—delivering the most immersive and electrifying presentation of this legendary performance to date.

The Rolling Stones said: “At the Max was always about bringing fans as close as possible to the energy of our live shows. With IMAX, that experience is bigger, louder, and more immersive than ever—we can’t wait for audiences to feel it all over again.”
Rolling Stones – At the Max was shot across five concerts in three European cities using eight IMAX film cameras. The result was the first-ever feature-length IMAX concert film, showcasing the incomparable talents of the Rolling Stones and their stadium-filling power. The film, which has not been in theatres since 2007, has grossed nearly $17 million worldwide.
Seminal songs that feature include ‘Start Me Up’, ‘Tumbling Dice’, ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’, ‘Paint It Black’, ‘It’s Only Rock ’n Roll (But I Like It)’, ‘Sympathy for the Devil’ and ‘(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction’ to name but a few.
