The project will drop to premiere with his live IMAX film
Eric Church will release the Evangeline vs. the Machine Comes Alive soundtrack album on February 13th. The 19-track live project will complement the premiere of the IMAX film of the same name.
“This live album is special,” says Church. “It has been a while since the band and I had played a large club like the Pinnacle. Those two nights were electric. And listening back, the magic of those nights has definitely been captured.”
The IMAX premiere and coinciding live album include Eric Church’s celebrated Evangeline vs. The Machine 2025 album – alongside hits including “Desperate Man,” “Give Me Back My Hometown,” “Sinners Like Me,” “Mistress Named Music” and “Springsteen.” Reimagined with a six-piece band, four-piece horns, four-piece strings, eight-piece choir and vocalist Joanna Cotten all backing, the show comes to life with IMAX’s groundbreaking 12-channel sound and unparalleled image quality and scale. Evangeline vs. The Machine Comes Alive debuts exclusively in IMAX theatres across the U.S. and Canada beginning Friday, February 13, 2026.
In a first-ever partnership among IMAX, MCA, Mercury Studios, and Q Prime South, the limited theatrical release sees Church perform his eighth studio album front-to-back before transitioning into his catalog hits with this expanded musical collaboration, filmed across two nights at The Pinnacle in Nashville.
