Lil Nas X fans are in for a treat, as his debut international tour — which concluded last year — will soon be released as a concert documentary.
On Thursday (December 4), the 24-year-old Atlanta-area artist announced that Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero will premiere on HBO and Max on January 27. The film borrows its name from the 60-date global trek in support of his debut album, which ran from September 6, 2022 to March 26, 2023.

Directed by Zac Manuel and Carlos López Estrada, it first premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in 2023. According to The Hollywood Reporter, in addition to recordings of his explosive performances, the documentary also features Lil Nas X talking about his place in the music industry as a queer Black man.
The often controversial rapper kept his Instagram announcement simple, writing: “Good News World! Long Live Montero [purple-heart emoji]. Tour Doc. HBO MAX. January 27. BIG 2024.”
In similar news, Jack Harlow has teamed up with Meta to offer fans an immersive experience of his tour of his home state of Kentucky, which concluded in early December.
The 25-year-old rapper has joined forces with Range Media Productions and Media.Monks on a new project called Jack Harlow No Place Like Home: A VR Concert. In addition to having a close look at the live shows, viewers will also have access to behind-the-scenes footage through virtual reality.
“At some point last year I realized how much of my home state I’ve never seen,” Harlow told Variety. “I suddenly got this urge to take a tour bus across Kentucky with all my childhood friends. So that’s what we did.”
“Six shows in different towns across the state, with the final stop being in Lexington. We decided my first show at the historic Rupp Arena was the perfect moment to capture in VR. Enjoy.”
