Exclusive Vampire Lestat concert teases AMC's dark new series
Prepare for Brat Prince Summer. Interview with a Vampire returns June 7 with Season 3, titled The Vampire Lestat. Fans of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, on which Rollin Jones' scintillating TV series is based, know this title means we'll be getting Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) making the leap from the Théâtre des Vampires stage to full-blown rock star. And lucky fans can see Reid perform in character live at a special one-night-only concert ahead of the season premiere. On June 2, at the Beacon Theater, The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only - LIVE will offer an advanced screening of the premiere episode of The Vampire Lestat, followed by Reid performing songs from the show. Fans have already been streaming The Vampire Lestat's songs on Apple Music, including "Long Face," "All Fall Down," and a cover of Billy Idol's "Dancing With Myself." Other songs written and composed by Daniel Hart could debut there. But how can fans get in on the fun? Out of the AMC Upfronts, TV Insider reports that complimentary tickets will be offered. To get these much-coveted tickets, go to The Vampire Lestat One Night Only Live on May 6, at 12 a.m. midnight ET. Supply is limited. (The Beacon has fewer than 3,000 seats.) And it's an 18-and-over show, so age restrictions apply. At the Upfronts, Reid said of the event, "I'm really proud of Daniel's music....and there are songs that we'll be playing that haven't been released yet." And for those wondering if Jacob Anderson will be in the audience - as Louis is in the Vampire Lestat trailer - he told TV Insider, "I wouldn't miss it for the world." The Vampire Lestat premieres June 7 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on AMC and AMC+.
