David Byrne's new Spike Lee-directed film American Utopia is due to arrive next month, and the pair have now rolled out a trailer for the concert flick.

You can catch a glimpse of Byrne and the cast tearing up the glittering stage below. Based on his widely acclaimed Broadway musical of the same name, American Utopia  documents Byrne's time with Talking Heads, leading all the way up to his 2018 American Utopia album.

The film features musical performances of songs from across Byrne's career, with the artist backed by an 11-piece ensemble.

As previously reported, American Utopia will arrive on HBO September 10. That same day, the film will open the 45th edition of the Toronto International Film Festival.

American Utopia will mark the second feature from Lee this year, following Da 5 Bloods.
