Spinal Tap light up Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England as they perform a secret gig for their upcoming sequel - a month after co-star David Kaff's death

Spinal Tap lit up Stonehenge as they performed a secret gig on Thursday (August 21) evening - just a month after their co-star David Kaff's death.

The fictional group reunited to film the sequel to the iconic 1980s rock mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap.

Now, in new images, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer, and Christopher Guest could be seen putting on an electric performance at this historic site in Wiltshire. 

The cult rockers were later joined on stage by music icons Josh Groban, Eric Clapton, and Shania Twain. 

Myleene Klass was spotted in the crowd with her daughter, along with Hollywood star Jamie Lee Curtis.

Spinal Tap II will once again be directed by Rob Reiner and is set to be released on September 12.

The use of Stonehenge humorously links back to a moment in the 1984 film when the group commissioned an artist to create a huge recreation of the mystical prehistoric structure.

However, the rockers were left embarrassed when the artist turned up with a small scale model.

It was then revealed that the written instructions she was given said to build an 18" (inches) replica – rather than an impressive 18' (feet) version.

It comes just a month after legendary actor and musician David died aged 79.

The star, who played keyboardist Viv Savage in the iconic 1984 film, died peacefully in his sleep on July 11, per a statement from his band Mutual of Alameda’s Wild Kingdom.

It read: 'Our brother David Kaffinetti passed away peacefully in his sleep yesterday.

'We are devastated by this event.

'David always had a kind word and a quick wit that would slay you where you stand. Then he'd make you smile doing it! RIP dear brother.'

This is Spinal Tap was first released in 1984 and starred Michael, Christopher and Harry.

Directed by Rob, who also starred in the mockumentary comedy, it followed a heavy metal group Spinal Tap, dubbed as one of England's loudest bands, on their American tour. 

David's keyboardist Savage was known for his motto: 'Have a good time…all the time' and 'Quite exciting, this computer magic!'

His death comes just two months before a sequel to his iconic film will be released - David did not reprise his role in the new film.

Spinal Tap II: The End Continues will be released in September. It will follow Spinal Tap as they perform one last time after reuniting after 15 years.

Director Rob Reiner said: 'So happy to be working with the folks at Bleecker Street who are passionate about keeping Tap's legacy alive and happy to give Marty DiBergi another shot at relevancy.'

While Bleecker Street's CEO Andrew Karpen and president Kent Sanderson said: 'We feel privileged for the opportunity to work with Rob Reiner and the brilliant minds behind the original This Is Spinal Tap and to be part of a film that has resonated with so many.'

They described the first movie as a cultural touchstone' and added: 'This Is Spinal Tap isn't just a movie – it's a cultural touchstone that pioneered the mockumentary genre and left an indelible mark on both film and music.

'Returning to this world through Spinal Tap II is an extraordinary chance to celebrate its legacy while creating something fresh for both new and devoted audiences.'

This Is Spinal Tap has a whopping 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes and has been praised by many.

In 2002 it was chosen for preservation by the National Film Registry, as the Library of Congress declared it was 'culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant.'

David was a founding member of British progressive rock band Rare Bird from 1969 to 1975. They were known for their 1969 track Sympathy which charted at number 27 and sold one million copies.

He also played keyboards for Chuck Berry on album The London Chuck Berry Sessions.

After shooting to fame in This Is Spinal Tap, the line-up toured and played Saturday Night Live in 1984. David would later leave the group at the end of the year.

‘Spinal Tap at Stonehenge – The Final Finale’ to Hit Theaters in 2026 From Bleecker Street | Video

Rob Reiner, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer reprise their roles, with additional guest performances from Shania Twain, Eric Clapton and Josh Groban

By JD Knapp | The Wrap | October 23, 2025

The end may no longer be continuing for Spinal Tap, as Bleecker Street has set concert film “Spinal Tap at Stonehenge – The Final Finale” to hit theaters and Imax in 2026.

Rob Reiner famously put on the first-ever rock show at Stonehenge in August with Vertigo Live, though the footage did not end up in last month’s “Spinal Tap II: The End Continues” sequel.

Original “This Is Spinal Tap” stars Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer all reprise their roles for the concert film, with additional guest performances from Shania Twain, Eric Clapton and Josh Groban.

“I’m told this is it. They’re really serious this time,” Kent Sanderson, CEO of Bleecker Street, said in a Thursday statement. “While this is ostensibly the end, how fitting is it that this actual-probable-send-off is shot, historically, at Stonehenge, the mysterious landmark that we now know must have been erected thousands of years ago purely to serve as the setting for the last act of Spinal Tap.”

“Bringing Spinal Tap to Stonehenge felt inevitable — the ultimate meeting of rock mythology and cinematic scale,” added Ian Brenchley, CEO of Vertigo Live. “An iconic band performing at one of the world’s most legendary landmarks, captured in Imax and, of course, turned up to eleven. This is exactly what we set out to do: take music beyond the stage, beyond the ordinary, and turn it into living cinema. An experience unlike anything before it — and the perfect finale to rock’s most enduring legend.”

Plus, Bleecker even shared a rocking teaser for the special project: “Direct from Hell.” You can watch it, above.

“The concert film follows legendary fictional heavy metal band Spinal Tap as they put on a once-in-a-lifetime concert marking the first-ever rock show filmed at Stonehenge, the historic English heritage site forever linked to Spinal Tap’s iconic song of the same name,” according to the logline.

“Spinal Tap at Stonehenge – The Final Finale” hits theaters in 2026.
