Paramount+ to exclusively premiere TOM PETTY: HEARTBREAKERS BEACH PARTY on Tuesday, March 11
Cult classic ‘80s film from Academy Award® winning director Cameron Crowe makes its return as newly remastered version nearly 40 years after its MTV debut
Produced by Petty Legacy, in association with MTV Entertainment Studios
“A paean to the joy of good fortune, the swagger of youth and the majesty of rock and roll.”
– The Telegraph
“The rock doc is an illuminating lark, catching Petty and his bandmates as they ride out the crest of their first big swell of success, with the group’s fifth album, Long After Dark, just about to come out.”
– Variety
“Fans of the singer’s hits, fluffy mullets (and young Cameron Crowe) are well-served by unseen and remastered footage as this sweet look back ticks all the relevant rock doc boxes.”
– The Guardian
Feb 11, 2025 – Paramount+ today announced TOM PETTY: HEARTBREAKERS BEACH PARTY will premiere exclusively on the service on Tuesday, March 11 in the U.S. and Canada and on Wednesday, March 12 in the UK, Australia, Latin America, France, Italy and Germany, marking the first time the fully restored version of the classic ‘80s documentary from legendary and Academy Award®-winning director Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous, Jerry Maguire) will be widely available to a global audience. For a free trial, visit ParamountPlus.com.
TOM PETTY: HEARTBREAKERS BEACH PARTY is a fun, candid, fast-paced and musically rich ride with America’s greatest rock & roll band, a time capsule of the dawn of the MTV era and a rare, shining glimpse into Tom Petty’s lasting creative genius. Featuring nearly 20 minutes of never-before-seen bonus content, including new commentary from Crowe himself, alongside in-depth interviews, electrifying live performances and unprecedented intimate access to Petty and the band.
Originally airing only once on MTV in February 1983, the tapes from Crowe’s directorial debut, were finally found in 2024, nearly 40 years after it became folklore to fans, musicians and the entertainment industry at-large. The highly anticipated film, restored from its original 16mm source, is an era-defining look at rock & roll that captures Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers as they finish, promote and tour the groundbreaking Long After Dark album, the band’s third and final project with legendary producer Jimmy Iovine.
“Heartbreaker's Beach Party occupies a special place in my heart,” said Crowe. “Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers leaned into the making of the film with a kind of hilarious music-filled honesty that still feels fresh forty years later. It was also my first experience as a director. Thanks to Adria Petty and the Petty estate, along with our co-filmmakers Danny Bramson, Phil Savenick, Doug Dowdle and Greg Mariotti, we’re bringing it back in all its reckless glory. I’m especially happy to add a postscript with the never-seen outtake footage I always treasured. The fact that the original film was yanked from MTV after only one airing shows that it was, and still is, an outlandish feast for fans in the best ways. Turn it up!!”
TOM PETTY: HEARTBREAKERS BEACH PARTY is executive produced by the Petty Legacy, LLC, Bruce Resnikoff, and Bruce Gillmer (MTV Entertainment Studios).

Dylan Newman amplifies artist development with KRK’s GoAux Portable and ROKIT 8 Generation Five Studio Monitors
LOS ANGELES, FEBRUARY 11, 2025 ― Dylan Newman, Manager of Music and Talent at Nickelodeon and Artist Manager at NewManagement, is elevating his artist development strategy and audio production quality with KRK GoAux Portable Monitors and ROKIT 8 Generation Five Studio Monitors. With a rich history in artist discovery, development, and management, Dylan’s hands-on approach to audio finds perfect synergy with the KRK solutions, which are essential tools in his creative process.
Newman’s music journey began early, from self-taught drums and guitar to discovering his passion for music behind the scenes. Starting out as part of Purdue University’s Student Concert Committee, he quickly learned the ins and outs of concert promotion by working with high-profile acts like Luke Bryan and Macklemore. Newman’s exposure to A&R began with an internship at Sony Music, leading to roles at Columbia Records and Epic Records, where he was fortunate enough to contribute to projects for top artists like Travis Scott, Camila Cabello, and Future. “Artist development is in my blood,” says Newman, a value he extends to emerging talents like LOCS and PIAO at NewManagement and acts like Pressley Hosbach and Young Dylan at Nickelodeon’s music department.
Newman was first introduced to KRK by friends at Gibson, who gave him a first-hand look at KRK’s trusted performance in professional studios and artist setups. “When I first saw the GoAuxes, I recognized how the portability and minimal setup requirements made it easy to ensure audio quality from home to office or anywhere on the road,” he says. “They deliver the same natural and balanced frequency response that has become synonymous with the KRK name in a mobile-friendly package. Meanwhile, the ROKIT 8 Generation Five provides the precision and customization I need for mixing and refining audio to professional standards.”
Newman attributes much of his success to the sonic integrity that his KRK speakers provide. “I love my KRKs,” he continues. “They give my artists and me the clarity we need throughout the recording, mixing, and mastering stages. The GoAux speakers are portable yet powerful, fitting seamlessly into my busy schedule. The ROKIT 8 Generation Fives are my go-to for my home studio, allowing me to dig in and ensure top-quality production for my artists. In addition, the black and gold design is a staple in the industry; it’s become synonymous with quality.”
The KRK ROKIT Generation Five monitors are the most advanced in their class. Whether working on a chart-topping hit, a film score, or a personal project, the ROKITs provide the tools needed to capture every nuance of a user’s sound with astonishing clarity. The monitors’ onboard DSP technology provides three distinct Voicing Modes: Mix Mode, Create Mode, and Focus Mode, eliminating the need for separate sets of monitors for different tasks.
Newman’s dedication to sound is evident in his work at Nickelodeon’s music department, where he develops music for the brand’s record label, manages talent releases, and supports major events like the Kids’ Choice Awards. According to Newman, “Whether I’m listening to demos for Nickelodeon or refining LOCS’s latest tracks, KRK ensures that every sound detail is accurately represented. My partnership with KRK and Gibson has been essential in bringing quality audio to all my projects.”
For more updates on Dylan Newman’s latest work and upcoming projects, follow him on social media at @dylannewman_. His commitment to the music industry is not only in advancing his artists but also in inspiring the next generation of talent and future executives through mentorship and collaboration.
According to Circana’s VP and Media Entertainment industry advisor John Buffone, 90% of US households with internet access subscribe to at least one SVOD service these days, and the average is five. This market growth has been driven, in part, by households with children under age 18—nearly all of these homes (97%) are paying for some form of streaming, and they tend to subscribe to more services on average as well.
Mirroring the linear TV landscape, most of the top-performing kids series on SVODs belong to well-established franchises and networks, including Nickelodeon. And this broad trend is poised to continue throughout 2025.
Meanwhile, Avatar: The Last Airbender was the second most-watched kids show on Netflix, however, it's unclear whether the list means the animated Nickelodeon series or the streamer's recently debuted live-action adaptation. Avatar: The Last Airbender is joined by Gabby's Dollhouse in third place and Peppa Pig in eighth.
