SNL Homecoming Concert to Be Simulcast to IMAX Theaters 

First on LateNighter: The Mark Ronson-produced SNL50 Homecoming Concert will be beamed live to select Regal IMAX movie theaters nationwide.

Scheduled for 8pm ET /5pm PT on February 14th, the live concert at Radio City Music Hall is set to feature an all-star slate of musicians and comics who’ve played a part in the legendary sketch show’s 50 seasons.

Details for the long-planned event have been scarce to date. SNL creator and EP Lorne Michaels first discussed the concert publicly in June 2023, describing it at the time as “kind of [a] homecoming night. It will have musical acts and stand-ups. Throughout the show, musical things that the cast have done over 50 years will be live.”

As with all things SNL, Michaels is ultimately responsible for SNL50: The Homecoming Concert, but with music being the centerpiece of the event (and the Saturday Night Live creator/showrunner presumably having his hands full producing the show’s anniversary special two days later), Michaels has tapped Oscar-winning music super producer Mark Ronson to co-produce the event.

There’s been no official word yet on who will take the stage at Radio City, but according to Michaels, we can expect to see “bands that have left a mark on the show, and stand-ups that were part of it from the beginning or relatively recent.”

The three-hour show will be also be aired live on Peacock.

UPDATE (1/30/24): NBC has announced that the IMAX screenings will be held at theaters in five states: California (Regal Edwards Ontario Palace), Pennsylvania (Regal UA King of Prussia), Texas (Regal Lone Star), New York (Regal Deer Park), and Florida (Regal South Beach). The network says that free tickets for the screenings will be made available exclusively for current Fandango FanClub, Regal Crown Club members, and IMAX subscribers at a later date.
