Ahead of its worldwide release on 14 August via Dead Oceans, Phoebe Bridgers’ newest album Lost Weekend will debut in full inside planetariums around the globe.

Presented beneath the planetarium dome, acclaimed photographer and National Geographic night sky explorer Babak Tafreshi, presents a visual experience culminating from two decades spent documenting extraordinary nocturnal scenes around the globe.

Experience Lost Weekend in a breathtaking audiovisual journey that travels from the star-filled skies of Madagascar and the shimmering Northern Lights above Iceland's glaciers to the powerful storms across Texas.  

Filmed in nearly 20 countries, with no computer-generated imagery, this show brings audiences closer to the natural world through stunning nightscapes that blend music, science, art, and a sense of discovery. The experience invites audiences to reflect on our connection to the universe while celebrating the beauty of dark skies. 

Note: This is not a performance, and Phoebe Bridgers will not be in attendance.  

Presented in partnership with Spotify.
