Legendary rock band Spinal Tap has announced their final farewell concert film, “Stonehenge: The Final Finale,” set to be released in 2026. The band, known for their outrageous and comedic performances, has been teasing their retirement for years, but this time, it seems they are truly serious.
Formed in 1979, Spinal Tap quickly gained a cult following with their satirical take on heavy metal music. The band, consisting of lead vocalist and guitarist David St. Hubbins, lead guitarist Nigel Tufnel, and bassist Derek Smalls, became known for their over-the-top stage antics and hilarious songs like “Big Bottom” and “Sex Farm.”
After decades of touring and releasing albums, the band announced their retirement in 1992 with a farewell tour and documentary, “This is Spinal Tap.” However, they couldn’t resist the temptation to reunite for special performances and even released a new album in 2009.
But now, it seems the end is truly near for Spinal Tap. The band has announced their final show, “Stonehenge: The Final Finale,” which will be filmed for a concert film to be released in 2026. And they are not going out quietly. The band has enlisted the help of two music legends, Shania Twain and Eric Clapton, to make their “final” show one to remember.
Twain and Clapton will join the trio on stage for a special collaboration, adding their own unique styles to Spinal Tap’s iconic songs. This unexpected pairing has fans buzzing with excitement and has already generated a lot of buzz for the upcoming concert film.
In a statement, the band said, “We couldn’t think of a better way to say goodbye to our fans than with a final show that truly turns it up to 11. And having Shania Twain and Eric Clapton join us on stage is a dream come true. It’s going to be an epic night that no one will forget.”
Fans are eagerly anticipating the release of “Stonehenge: The Final Finale” and are already speculating about what surprises the band has in store for their last performance. Will they bring back some of their classic stage props, like the giant Stonehenge monument or the infamous “pod” that drummer Mick Shrimpton got stuck in? Only time will tell.
But one thing is for sure, Spinal Tap’s final show will be a night to remember. The band has always been known for their over-the-top performances, and this one promises to be their most outrageous yet. And with the addition of Twain and Clapton, it’s sure to be a star-studded event that will go down in music history.
As fans prepare to say goodbye to Spinal Tap, they can take comfort in knowing that the band will be going out on a high note. “Stonehenge: The Final Finale” will be a celebration of the band’s legacy and their impact on the music industry. And for those who have never had the chance to see Spinal Tap live, this concert film will be the perfect way to experience their unforgettable performances.
So mark your calendars for 2026 and get ready to turn it up to 11 one last time with Spinal Tap. This is truly the end of an era, but the band’s legacy will live on through their music and their hilarious performances. As they say, “It’s such a fine line between stupid and clever,” and Spinal Tap has always managed to walk that line with ease. Thank you for the memories, Spinal Tap. We can’t wait to see what you have in store for your final finale.
