The Vampire Lestat Debuts Sunday, June 7 on AMC and AMC+

NEW YORK, NY - April 29, 2026 - AMC Global Media announced today at this year's Upfront Content Showcase that the Vampire Lestat, the world's first immortal rock star, will make his final tour stop at the famed Beacon Theatre in New York City on June 2 for The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only - LIVE. Played by Sam Reid, Lestat will take the stage to perform original music by series Composer Daniel Hart for a live performance following a special screening of the premiere episode. The event will be open to fans with complimentary tickets available, beginning Wednesday, May 6 at 12am midnight ET.

The premiere event kicks off a fan-first campaign for The Vampire Lestat, premiering Sunday, June 7 at 9pm ET/PT on AMC and AMC+, with custom partnerships spanning the season. Joining Lestat on "tour" are two standout partners, each bringing the show's high-voltage style to life in distinct ways: POM Wonderful and Fender Musical Instruments Corporation.

POM Wonderful pairs perfectly with The Vampire Lestat, acting as a wellness companion to the larger-than-life rockstar vampire himself. Powered by Content Room, AMC Global Media's award-winning brand entertainment studio, POM will be woven into the new season through bold, fan-forward creative content. This will include enticing ad campaigns featuring Lestat sporting the bold, ruby red elixir as a nod to POM's Antioxidant Superpower and the Immortal Universe's signature aesthetic.

As previously announced, Fender will have a series of four custom Player II Modified Stratocaster guitars - the Fender(R) Limited Edition LeStrat Stratocaster(R) HSS - unveiled in the show as Lestat's rock star era unfolds.

"Interview with the Vampire has one of the most devoted fandoms in television, and this season's campaign is built for them. The Beacon event is one of many touchpoints designed to celebrate the deep connection they have to these characters and the world they love," said Kim Granito, Chief Marketing Officer, AMC Global Media. "We are thrilled to collaborate with POM and Fender to further elevate the Vampire Lestat's rock star persona. These partnerships are another example of Content Room's commitment to creating fan-driven opportunities that connect brands authentically with the stories and shows audiences crave."

Fans can visit The Vampire Lestat One Night Only Live, which will be live on Wednesday, May 6 at 12am midnight, for a chance to request tickets to this once-in-a-lifetime performance. Please note: tickets are limited and certain age restrictions apply. Travel and accommodations are not provided.

In the new season, the Vampire Lestat goes on an electric multi-city tour while being haunted by "muses" from his wild and rebellious past. As his band's popularity and star power rises, so does Lestat's influence over vampires and humans alike, leaving others to contend with Lestat's power in the face of the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population. In addition to Reid, The Vampire Lestat stars Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle and is executive produced by award-winning producer Mark Johnson, creator, writer and showrunner Rolin Jones, Hannah Moscovitch, along with Christopher Rice and the late Anne Rice. AMC Global Media and Lakeshore Records recently released infectious tracks "Long Face," "All Fall Down" and a cover of Billy Idol's "Dancing with Myself" on the Vampire Lestat artist profile pages at major digital music services, including Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music. The song's original music and lyrics, by series' composer Daniel Hart and performed by Reid, will be featured throughout the series with additional new tracks to drop in the coming months.
