DEVELOPMENT - 'TOUR'

Tour dates / Henry Live

Performing is often a key element to an artist or a band becoming noticed by audiences, creating a fan-base who will buy or stream their music. A popular band or artist, such as Hozier or Coldplay, can often sell out huge concert venues to hundreds of people. This is not only a good way to gain revenue, but also is a way to connect with the audience on a more personal basis than through streaming music, which creates a stronger legion of fans. This is important for an artist so they can keep making music and profiting. 

I have taken inspiration from similar, indie pop musicians and constructed for my artist Henry a tour page which will include the dates for his fictional tour titled 'The bitter squeeze tour". The name is inspired by 'Pink lemonade' which the tour is based around. I thought 'bitter squeeze' was a fun name for a tour centred on the idea of lemonade.

This is how the link to the page looks on the home page when the audience scrolls down. The person visiting the website can click 'more dates' to be taken specifically to 'The bitter squeeze tour' page.

This is the page specifically for the tour dates which includes: Moterpoint Arena in Nottingham, The Cavern club in Liverpool, The Eden project in Cornwall, Concorde 2 in Brighton and Reading festival 2020. The page is in keeping with the home pages theme but i've added an animated record which spins as you open the page - I think this is a good feature to add to the wesbite as it links with Henrys merchandise (primarly retro themed items), the retro brand image and is engaging to the visitor to the page.

If you select the little arrow on any of the tour dates it will give more information regarding the date. including the date and time. This makes the web page feel more realistic.
