Image: Focus Features.\n\nPerhaps you’re just a hunk of burning love for Elvis Presley. Maybe you’ve been relishing Charli xcx’s _Brat_ summer moment. Watching Billie Eilish live might make you happier than ever. Or, good times could never seem as good as when you’re hearing Neil Diamond’s _Sweet Caroline_.\n\nWhichever of the above fits, 2026’s cinema slate so far has obliged that affection – but there’s more to come for fans of music-related movies in what’s proving to be a packed jukebox of big-screen offerings.\n\nIn its fixation with ready-made audiences, Hollywood might adore sequels, prequels, spinoffs, remakes, reboots and reimaginings, alongside adapting seemingly every book, comic, game and toy possible. Music, however, also comes with an inbuilt fanbase – and plenty of this year’s new cinema releases have been capitalising upon that fact.\n\nAlmost every week in theatres in 2026, a new concert film, music documentary, mockumentary or biopic has been vying for patrons’ eyes and ears, spoiling viewers for choice.
