As John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s wedding anniversary marks 57 years of enduring love and commitment, fans around the world are receiving an extraordinary gift — the chance to relive one of the most iconic moments in rock history. Beginning today, tickets go on sale for POWER TO THE PEOPLE: John & Yoko/Plastic Ono Band with Elephant’s Memory and Special Guests – Live at the One To One Concert, New York City, 1972. The official event trailer also makes its debut, promising a vivid reunion with a pivotal chapter in musical and cultural history.
A Historic Concert Reimagined
This event isn’t just a screening; it’s a resurrection of a defining moment when John Lennon, fresh from departing The Beatles, took to the stage with Yoko Ono and their band to deliver a message of peace, love, and activism. The concert, held at Madison Square Garden, was the only full-length performance Lennon and Ono gave in that era, making it a rare and invaluable glimpse into their post-Beatles artistic journey.
The newly restored Power To The People concert film captures both of these legendary live shows in stunning multiscreen format. After two decades of meticulous work, every frame has been painstakingly cleaned and restored by hand—both physically and digitally—resulting in a definitive, crystal-clear edition. The project was expertly re-edited and remixed by Sean Ono Lennon’s seven-time GRAMMY®-winning team, ensuring a fresh yet authentic experience for modern audiences.
A Musical and Cultural Milestone
The setlist reads like a manifesto: John’s anthems “New York City,” “Instant Karma!,” “Imagine,” and “Mother” resonate with his enduring call for peace and unity. Yoko’s powerful pieces “Don’t Worry Kyoko” and “Open Your Box” showcase her avant-garde spirit. Classic covers like “Come Together” and “Hound Dog,” alongside the iconic encore “Give Peace a Chance,” feature unforgettable performances with special guests including Stevie Wonder, Sha Na Na, Melanie Safka-Schekeryk, and others.
Filmed by the renowned multi-camera director Steve Gebhardt in 1972, the concert footage now benefits from a 2026 reimagining, directed by Simon Hilton and produced by industry veterans Peter Worsley and Sean Ono Lennon. The music production credits go to Sean himself, with expert mixing and engineering by Paul Hicks and Sam Gannon, ensuring the sound quality matches the visual excellence.
A Global Cinematic Event
Produced in partnership with Mercury Studios and distributed worldwide by Trafalgar Releasing, Power To The People will be screened in select cinemas from April 29 for a limited engagement. Audiences can experience the performances in immersive 5.1 Surround or Dolby Atmos sound at designated locations, offering an auditory experience as powerful as the visuals.
For fans eager to celebrate the enduring legacy of John and Yoko on their special day, this event is more than a concert film—it’s a tribute to their unwavering message for peace and love, brought vividly back to life.
