Bon Jovi "Because We Can" World Stadium Tour


Project Description

When Bon Jovi's "Because We Can: The Tour" switched from playing indoor arenas to outdoor stadiums, designer Doug "Spike" Brant of PEDG took the opportunity to create an entirely different design. Meteor Tower was brought in to create video content for a stadium-sized automobile front-end, modeled on a 1959 Buick Electra, creatively using entertainment technology in place of windshields, headlights, and the grille. Meteor rejoined the design team from the arena leg of the tour to create new assets and to repurpose the old, turning each song into a tantalizing visual experience.
