Tension

Strategy

Idea


Tour announcements are often generic and forgettable—fans scroll past without stopping, making it hard to break through the noise and generate excitement.

Create a visual announcement that doesn't just inform about the tour, but embodies The Weeknd's artistic identity to stop fans
mid-scroll.

A moody, cinematic teaser that feels like a trailer for The Weeknd's world rather than just a tour announcement.



“Most tour announcements prioritize dates and venues over artist identity, but for artists like The Weeknd, the atmosphere IS the selling point.”
