'Spider-Man' premiere is confirmed

The US premiere of Spider-Man 3 has been confirmed for the end of this month in New York.

The Tribeca Film Festival on April 30 will host the premiere for the final part of the Spider-Man trilogy.

According to the BBC, the event, which will be held at the UA Kaufman Astoria cinema in Queens, will see the stars of the film led down a black carpet by a marching band.

The festival's co-founder Jim Rosenthal said: "Hosting the US premiere in Queens and celebrating the release throughout the festival will give us the opportunity to reach out to a new community, as well as to the devoted fan-base of the Spider-Man series."

The US premiere will be the climax of a series of eight screenings around the world, which includes one in London on April 23.
