"It took five years to complete this amazing project," said DeLonge. "I'm so happy it will finally be experienced the way we always envisioned -- seen on the big screen in theaters all over the country in 5.1 sound." LOVE consists of two major components — a full-length feature and double album. The Angels & Airwaves Presents LOVE Live Fathom event will begin with an introduction of LOVE from the feature's executive producer DeLonge, along with Eubank. Next, fans will be treated to a screening of the thought-provoking feature, LOVE, which explores the psychological effects of isolation when an astronaut becomes stranded in space, while he orbits a dying Earth below. Through his loneliness, he learns the importance of human connection and love. "This event combines breathtaking visuals with a live concert in a truly unique way allowing movie theater audiences to completely immerse themselves in the world of AVA through different multi-media channels," said Dan Diamond, vice president of NCM Fathom.
