The Weeknd x RevoltTV Welcome You To KISSLAND [Video]

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

The Weeknd has teamed with RevoltTV to offer fans a peek behind-the-scenes at the set design for his upcoming KISSLAND tour. The footage features a trippy multiple-screen multimedia display that resembles a glitchy bright white matrix reminiscent of the neon purgatory that housed Lawnmower Man and Max Headroom. The display flushes through the dark rehearsal space as designers tweak blueprints and team with The Weeknd to adjust the movements and timing of the visual to ensure that it is properly aligned with his set. The show seems like it is shaping up to be a meltdown inducing experience thus far. This is an especially interesting prospect when you consider the hyper-emotional tone of The Weeknd's music, which will be combined with the pulsating set powered by static electricity and sensory overload. Check the footage below to get your first taste of the live KISSLAND experience, coming to a venue near you. Pre-order The Weeknd's Kiss Land LP via iTunes.
