Beloved variety series Night Flight will celebrate their 40th anniversary with some dear friends.

The event, which was announced today, will take place on June 5 at 9 p.m. EST/6 p.m. PST via the Night Flight Plus app. During this livestream, viewers will be greeted to video profiles from indie labels Mexican Summer and Sacred Bones, a marathon of Penelope Spheeris' documentary series about the Los Angeles music scene The Decline of Western Civilization Parts 1,2, and 3, and an airing of John Cage Meets Sun Ra.

The anniversary special will also feature a special performance from The Residents, who will performing their Duck Stab album in its entirety. Plack Blague and Def Rain will also have exclusive performances.

Night Flight’s creator/CEO Stuart S. Shapiro said this about the event:

“40 years ago, USA Network gave us a test with just 2 hours of late-night airtime for a summer shot for three months. At that time, movie theaters around the country were filled with midnight screenings of Rock and Roll docs, but cable was a vast wasteland of reruns. It seemed obvious that there was cultural need to bring our special DNA of counterculture music and docs to fulfill the real dream of the cable universe. I believe that Night Flight Plus today, as its own streaming channel, is every bit as impactful, not only as a time machine of full frontal cutting edge nostalgia, but also packed full of the best curated cutting edge entertainment anywhere. Night Flight is for sure The Best Weed in Town!”
