A concert film capturing Prince’s 2006 era will begin a limited theatrical run in more than 500 theaters nationwide on December 3, Variety reported.
The film, titled “Prince: 3121 Las Vegas Live,” serves as a centerpiece for a massive reissue campaign surrounding his landmark 2006 album, 3121. This release marks a significant moment for collectors and fans alike, as the 154-minute production is being presented in 4K and Dolby Atmos for those in equipped theaters.
The project isn’t just a single film release; it is part of a multi-layered rollout that spans digital, vinyl, and physical media. For those looking to own the performance, the concert film is also included in a specialized boxed set.
A massive reissue of 3121
The expanded edition of 3121 is scheduled to arrive digitally on December 11. This version builds upon the original 12-track foundation by adding 10 additional raw recordings. These bonus tracks include acoustic versions of “The Word,” “Love,” and “Te Amo Corazón,” alongside “Time of Ur Life,” “The Streets of Panama,” “Another Girl,” and “Glass Cutter.”
Physical collectors have several entry points for the new material. The expanded digital edition is being paired with physical releases including 3LP and 2CD sets that come with a Blu-ray. These physical editions will also feature the Las Vegas concert on the disc.

The legacy of a chart-topping era
The reissue brings renewed focus to an album that fundamentally shifted Prince’s commercial standing in the mid-2000s. Originally released on March 21, 2006, through NPG Records and Universal Music, 3121 was a major milestone for the artist. It became his first album to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and marked his fourth album to reach the top of that chart.
The Las Vegas concert film itself offers a sprawling look at his repertoire from that period. The 154-minute setlist moves between established hits like “Purple Rain,” “Kiss,” “If I Was Your Girlfriend,” and “U Got the Look,” while also highlighting selections from the 3121 and Musicology albums.
The performance also includes various covers, such as “Pass the Peas,” “Crazy,” and “Play That Funky Music.” By presenting these extended jams and deep cuts in high-fidelity 4K, the release attempts to recreate the immersive atmosphere of his live shows for a modern audience.
Tickets for the limited theatrical run are currently on sale.
