The world's hottest artist right now has broken a number of records for 2022, with his tour reaching $373.5 million from 1.8 million tickets sold and being named by Billboard as the top touring artist of the year. This record-breaking artist is none other than the Puerto Rican rapper and singer-songwriter Bad Bunny
In support of Bad Bunny's fourth album Un Verano Sin Ti, the artist announced his first stadium tour with the World's Hottest Tour not too long after his arena tour El Ultimo Tour del Mundo 2022. He even announced his next Latin American tour that began in November 2022.
With three wildly successful tours in 2022, winning multiple Grammy Awards, and being named Spotify's most-streamed artist globally, it's certainly been quite a year for Bad Bunny.
The World's Hottest Tour kicked off on August 5th in Orlando, Florida for its United States stadium tour. To wow fans who were excited to see their favorite artist live, the creatives on the Bad Bunny team worked to create a massively impressive stage design that would fill all the stadiums throughout the tour.
Laser Technology
The stage design had to match the energy of Bad Bunny with a large number of high-energy songs and a few select ballads throughout the set. The massive scale of the stadiums combined with the different moods portrayed throughout the setlist and impressive lighting design made it feel like a party in the room while showcasing the superstar's more emotional side to fans.
Image SFX was brought on to provide the lasers for the World's Hottest Tour. Their fleet of high-powered KVANT Spectrum 33 laser projectors allowed the laser operators to show off their talents and reach incredible distances, extending the party throughout the whole stadium.
