Glass Animals embarked on their global ‘Tour Of The Earth' in the second half of 2024, collaborating with set designer Cassius Creative and video content designer Fray Studio to create a retro-future aesthetic and otherworldly atmosphere. The show featured a set with synchronised screens and controls, as well as a massive chromosphere inspired by Moonraker that transforms into planetary rings mid-show. The band's frontman, Dave Bayley, became entwined with the show's narrative, using a floating lift to ascend above the stage and heighten the galactic theme. The tour aimed to be immersive and transport the audience on a journey to space, appealing to Glass Animals' loyal fan base while keeping things fresh with Easter eggs and references from previous shows. The collaboration between the band, Cassius Creative, and Fray Studio involved navigating ambitious ideas while remaining realistic and practical, with challenges including tight time frames and finding a unified visual language among team members of different ages and backgrounds.
