Following the success of his album Relax, which topped the charts and became the best-selling album in Italy during its release week, Calcutta resumed his Relax Tour in June 2024. The tour, which began in Italy’s palasport arenas at the end of 2023, expanded with stops across Europe, including Barcelona, London, Paris, and Zurich. It then continued through major Italian summer festivals such as Rock in Roma, Lucca Summer Festival, and Collisioni Festival, attracting tens of thousands of spectators.
While maintaining many of the original scenic solutions from the arena shows, we adapted specific elements for outdoor venues. These included a hidden platform for the artist behind reflective surfaces that, once illuminated, revealed themselves as LED screens projecting Calcutta’s real-time, live-effected image. Iconic elements from the previous tour, such as the giant LCD clock and the vintage '80s terminal from which Calcutta controlled the visuals, were also retained. Our multi-camera direction approach was enhanced, with microcameras distributed among the musicians and real-time effects made with Notch.
