Visuals

Described as "a totally immersive interactive experience with the audience" by frontman Damon Albarn,[4] the Humanz Tour utilized a large screen behind the band to project music videos and visuals alongside live music, much like the band's previous tours. Humanz collaborators who were unable to present themselves for the concerts were represented by pre-recorded video,[5] a technique previously utilized in Demon Days Live. The set and production for the tour was designed by London-based design studio Block9.[4]
