Music and movie buffs will find a lot to love about the Tribeca Film Festival 2025 lineup.
In March we learned that the June event will kickstart with Billy Joel’s documentary, So It Goes. Now, there is an extensive list of happenings, which includes 118 feature films representing 94 world premieres, 135 filmmakers and 36 countries. Phew!
“Tribeca has always been more than a festival—it’s a home for artists navigating an ever-changing industry and an ever-changing world,” said Tribeca Festival Co-Founder and Tribeca Enterprises CEO Jane Rosenthal. “For over two decades, we’ve championed emerging voices, celebrated established storytellers, and built a creative community where artists can grow, connect, and thrive. We’re proud of the ecosystem we’ve cultivated and can’t wait to share it with the world this June.”

Documentaries are the name of the game at this year’s fest, and the lineup includes artists like Counting Crows and Culture Club, Billy Idol, Becky G, and Eddie Vedder who will complement their screenings with performances. Meanwhile, members of Metallica, Depeche Mode, Wizkid, and Ty Dolla $ign will sit for post-premiere conversations, exclusively for Festival attendees. Lastly, Miley Cyrus will debut her visual album, Something Beautiful.
“At Tribeca, we believe that storytelling is a force — one that connects us, challenges us, and inspires us to reimagine what’s possible,” said Tribeca Festival Director and SVP of Programming Cara Cusumano. “This year’s film lineup is a testament to that power, bursting with creative risk, iconic artists, and new perspectives that spark vital conversations and drive culture forward. These films are a powerful reflection of the world we live in — and the world we want to shape.”
