Angels & Airwaves Presents Love Live was a one-night film screening and live-streamed concert that took place at 8:00pm ET on August 10, 2011 in 480 movie theatres across the United States and presented by the international rock multimedia project Angels & Airwaves.
Over 480 theatres hosted the event with tickets costing $15. The event used National CineMedia's NCM Fathom technology to conduct the live show.
It is unclear if a band has attempted a dual film-screening/concert at this scale before; MTV News called the event plans a "unique multimedia extravaganza".
The question and answer session was moderated by the Editor-In-Chief of TransWorld Surf, Chris Cote.
The event organizers list six different aspects of the evening, in the following order:
Event organizers announced that four short films would be played during the 30 minutes before the event. The short character studies featured music from the band and were titled based on the song featured in each. The band released the four films online the week before the nationwide screening to help promote the event.
According to director William Eubank, "The vignettes are not just character back-stories, [...] each one represents some of the more pertinent themes explored in the film: communication, isolation, relationship, and fate vs destiny. Which one explores what, is up to the viewer".
Three days after tickets went on sale for the event, organizers claimed to have sold over half of available tickets.
The band chose to partner directly with theatres in the distribution for the August 10th screenings. Angels and Airwaves partnered with AMC and Regal Cinemas through the technology intermediary National CineMedia. This garnered some attention, with media outlets mentioning the new use of such technologies by filmmakers. I Am Rogue mentioned the July announcement by Francis Ford Coppola of his planned experimental film Twixt, featuring a future multi-city tour with he and his composer planning to appear live with the film.
