The Used will screen their performance at the Sydney Opera House from earlier this year this month.
The US punk rock legends took to the Concert Hall stage in April, accompanied by the Metropolitan Orchestra, for one of their most memorable performances to date.
Today, the band announced a world premiere screening of the show, which will take place at LA’s Landmark Nuart Theater on October 28th, which will also include a special Q&A.
Decked out in all white on the night, The Used performed all of the hits and even some surprises with new arrangements, including “Let it Bleed”, “Take it Away”, “Blue and Yellow”, “Buried Myself Alive” “The Taste of Ink”, and “On My Own”. Check out a snippet below.

“I can’t believe they let us play here!” McCracken told the packed-out room.
Tone Deaf has asked PR when the concert will be released more widely.
Appearing on the Rolling Stone Uncut podcast ahead of the show in April, recorded on stage at the Concert Hall, frontman Bert McCracken said the Sydney Opera House gig was a celebration and culmination of the group’s 25th anniversary world tour.
“The 25-year tour was just insane, sold out all over the world, and we felt really special about it. So we wanted to do something that kind of sets this precedent for the years to come – a brand new chapter of The Used,” he said.
“There’s a lot of nerves. We’ve done a lot of rearranging with the songs and a lot of extended parts, and a lot of new cues. And so we’re really kind of focused in at this point. But walking in here, I’m feeling on top of the world. I can’t believe it’s really happening. It’s going to be so cool.”
The screening will come just days before The Used reunite with My Chemical Romance at the Hollywood Bowl for their first show together in many years.
During the podcast, McCracken said the reunion is “a long time coming.”
But it gets even better.
“I’m sure that we’re going to rehearse with them and hopefully do ‘Under Pressure,’” McCracken revealed. “Putting it on them! We’re ready.”
Before splitting in 2013, My Chemical Romance teamed with The Used to release a charity cover of Queen and David Bowie’s classic song in 2005 following a tsunami disaster in South Asia.
“How could we not play Under Pressure together, though?” he added. “It would be awful [not to].”
