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]
