A new chapter begins for the New Moon Theater gang and they have a big dream to achieve. They have their sights set to debut a new show at the Crystal Tower Theatre in Redshore City, but with Buster Moon (Matthew McConaughey) having no connections to the glamorous city, he and his gang decide to sneak into the distinguished Crystal Entertainment offices.
They have high hopes to impress the ruthless wolf owner, Jimmy Crystal (Bobby Cannavale) with an outrageous last-minute pitch, promising that their new show will feature the reclusive lion rock star Clay Calloway (Bono). However, a problem soon arises as Buster has never met the rock legend Clay, who went into isolation after the death of his wife more than a decade ago and hasn’t come out since. But it’s not long before Buster and the crew come up with ideas on how to persuade him to come back to the stage.
