Yes butt, you read that right – Spinal Tap II: The End Continues has finally cranked the amps, circled a date in the diary, and even dropped a cheeky first teaser trailer. 🤘🔥
The sequel to the most rock ‘n’ roll mockumentary of all time (This Is Spinal Tap, if you’ve somehow been living under a silent amp stack) is set to hit cinemas on [insert release date – TBC depending on official source]. The new teaser doesn’t give much away – just enough to whet the appetite, with Nigel Tufnel, David St. Hubbins, and Derek Smalls still bickering, still baffling, and still breaking amps… and possibly hips. 😅
The tagline? “The End Continues.”
Which is perfectly Tap – final, but never quite final.
Expect classic Tap chaos: exploding drummers (RIP number 38), lyrics that make zero sense but sound profound after six pints, and amps that still, of course, go to 11.
And judging from the teaser, the boys are still at each other’s throats in the most gloriously daft way imaginable. 🎤🥁🎶

Through The Riff Report, he aims to shine a spotlight on both the biggest names in rock and the future stars waiting to break through.
When he’s not writing or interviewing artists, you’ll probably find him exploring festival campsites, photographing live shows, chatting with fellow fans over a pint, or planning the next road trip in search of more riffs, bigger crowds, and unforgettable moments.
Above all, Michael believes rock and metal are about more than music—they’re about community, friendship, and creating memories that last a lifetime. That’s exactly what The Riff Report exists to celebrate.
