Twenty One Pilots to Livestream IMAX Film Version of ‘More Than We Ever Imagined (Live in Mexico City)’ and Release Live Album

The Ohio duo says the project was recorded during their Clancy world tour stop in Mexico City, and will be distributed as an IMAX film and accompanying album.

2 min readEditor-approved Apex article

Twenty One Pilots announced that it will host a live online watch party tied to its IMAX film project, releasing a companion album titled “More Than We Ever Imagined (Live in Mexico City)” as part of the rollout. The announcement comes from Billboard, which reports that the watch party is intended to be viewed in real time alongside additional programming connected to the Mexico City recording.

According to Billboard, the film and the album were recorded during what the band described as its biggest show yet in Mexico City, during the group’s 2025 Clancy world tour. The band’s creative decision to pair a major live performance with an IMAX-format release reflects the continued push by large-scale touring acts to extend concert experiences into ticketed and at-home film products.

The project is framed as both a cinematic presentation and a recorded soundtrack, with the album mirroring the performances captured for the film. The title “More Than We Ever Imagined (Live in Mexico City)” indicates that the release is built around that specific concert date and venue context rather than a general tour compilation, Billboard reports.

Billboard’s report also describes the timing of the watch party and the release strategy around the IMAX film. The outlet characterizes the event as an online viewing experience, suggesting fans will have a structured moment to watch the content together rather than encountering it solely through standard streaming or home release.

The rollout reflects a broader media business pattern in live entertainment, where artists convert a single high-profile show into multiple monetization streams. In addition to ticketed theater viewing, these arrangements typically create supplemental rights-managed content for digital distribution, expanding audience access beyond local audiences who could attend in person.

For viewers, the practical effect of the watch-party format is to concentrate attention and engagement around a single published window, which can influence how audiences discover the project, how platforms schedule related content, and how rights holders coordinate marketing and release timing across territories.

The Billboard report does not provide additional details in the supplied materials about the watch party platform, runtime, ticketing terms, or regional availability. It also does not list production credits or confirm whether the IMAX film will be available through specific streaming partners beyond the live event and album release described.

As of this writing, the next step for fans and media outlets is to confirm the watch party logistics and release availability through Twenty One Pilots’ and the distributor’s published event pages once they are issued, since those specifics are not included in the supplied report.

Why It Matters

  • Turning a Mexico City concert into an IMAX film and a live album extends the touring experience into a larger media footprint, which can affect how fans consume live performances.
  • A live online watch party concentrates attention into a single viewing window, shaping audience turnout and platform engagement around the release.
  • If the project is distributed across film and digital music formats, it can introduce additional rights and availability considerations for audiences in different regions.
  • The Mexico City focus suggests future tour-cycle archival releases may similarly highlight standout dates rather than only broad tour summaries.
