Sia: Nostalgic for the Present
New York, NY, Los Angeles, CA – July 17, 2026 — Trafalgar Releasing announced global theatrical plans today for Sia: Nostalgic For The Present, a truly mesmerizing cinematic experience capturing her 2016 main-stage Coachella performance. Coming exclusively to select cinemas around the world from July 23rd, the limitedtheatrical event coincides with the ten-year anniversary of the unforgettable set in which the 9x GRAMMY® Award-nominated pop icon redefined what live music could be.
Tickets are now on sale at NostalgicForThePresent.com. Additionally, the official trailer has been unveiled today HERE.
Sia: Nostalgic for the Present is a bold, genre-defying experience that trades pop pageantry for pure artistry. Awe-inspiring vocals, breathtaking choreography, and iconic performances, captured cinematically and soundtracked by an unmatched catalog of hits.
In 2016, Sia toured the world mirroring this film live on stage, frame for frame. Remastered for its tenth anniversary, it stands alone for the first time – not as a concert film, but as a visual masterpiece unlike anything in music since.
Starring Maddie Ziegler, Kristen Wiig, Paul Dano, Ben Mendelsohn, Gaby Hoffmann, and Tig Notaro. Choreographed by Ryan Heffington. Directed by Sia and Daniel Askill.
"Working with Sia on Nostalgic for the Present has been a dream. Her music and her emotional instincts opened space for something that doesn't exist anywhere else at the intersection of performance, music, and film - and we were blessed to bring it to life with extraordinary collaborators on both sides of the camera." - Daniel Askill
"Working with some of the greatest artists of our time was a thrilling, tremendous journey that I would take over and over again, if given the opportunity. I am humbled by the talent of everyone involved and so grateful for the experience. I am, nostalgic for the present." - Sia
“Sia's Coachella performance is exactly the kind of cultural moment that belongs on the big screen,” said Marc Allenby, CEO of Trafalgar Releasing. “From the powerful vocals to the mesmerizing visuals, we are proud to celebrate its tenth anniversary by presenting the unmatched spectacle of the film as a collective experience for her fans.”
