A new feature-length documentary, simply titled Frampton, is set to make its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City on June 4, 2026. Chronicling the life story of the British singer-songwriter and guitarist Peter Frampton, the film commemorates the 50th anniversary of the release of the musician’s best-selling album Frampton Comes Alive.

The film is directed by Rob Arthur, who has been Frampton’s band leader, keyboardist and a vocalist for the past 20 years. A description from 10 Lives Studios: From the explosive heights of Frampton Comes Alive! to the quiet introspection of his final tour, Frampton is an intimate portrait of a rock icon who soared, stumbled, and rose again. This feature documentary traces Peter Frampton’s extraordinary life and career — from his meteoric rise in the 1970s that made him a global sensation, through the turbulent years that tested his artistry, identity, and resilience.

As the roar of stadium crowds faded, Frampton faced the daunting task of rebuilding — reinventing his sound and rediscovering his purpose across solo projects, collaborations, and relentless touring. Behind the stage lights, personal sacrifices and fractured family ties reveal the cost of fame that few ever see.

Now, diagnosed with Inclusion Body Myositis, a degenerative muscle condition threatening his ability to play guitar, Frampton stands at a profound crossroads. Frampton captures the soulful poignancy of an artist confronting both the passage of time and his own physical limits, determined to make every performance count.

Through rare archival footage, candid interviews, and electrifying concert moments, this documentary explores the spirit of a musician who defined an era, lost everything, and fought his way back — only to discover that his greatest encore might not be on stage, but in the time he’s reclaiming with the people he loves most. Frampton is a stirring celebration of artistry, endurance, and the enduring power of music to outlast even the hands that play it.

Frampton himself is expected to make an appearance at the premiere following the Tribeca screening. The film will also screen at Manhattan’s Village East by Angelika on June 5 and 6 as part of the festival.

Among those who appear in the film are Ringo Starr, Bill Wyman, Tom Morello, Sheryl Crow, Alice Cooper, Herb Alpert, Nancy Wilson, Cameron Crowe and Roger Daltrey.

Frampton has a new studio release, Carry the Light, his first effort of all-new rock material in 16 years. The album, coming May 15, 2026, was co-written and produced with his son Julian Frampton, and features guest appearances from Sheryl Crow, Bill Evans, Tom Morello, Graham Nash and others. It’s available to order in the U.S. here, in Canada here and in the U.K. here.
