Virgil Abloh & Mike Dean STORY Tickets

Virgil Abloh and Mike Dean are two of the most prominent figures in the music industry today. Known for their work with some of the biggest names in hip-hop and pop, these two trailblazers have revolutionized the way we experience live music events.

Virgil Abloh is a multi-talented artist, designer, DJ and entrepreneur. He first rose to prominence as the creative director of Kanye West's fashion line, Yeezy. Since then, he has become a driving force in the fashion world, working on collaborations with brands like Nike and Louis Vuitton. But his influence extends beyond the fashion world – he is also a celebrated club DJ and producer.

Mike Dean, on the other hand, is a legendary producer, engineer and mixer who has worked with artists like Kanye West, Jay-Z, Travis Scott and Madonna, among others. He is known for his distinctive sound, which blends elements of rock, hip-hop and electronic music.

Abloh and Dean have collaborated on several projects over the years, but perhaps their most notable collaboration was during Kanye West's Saint Pablo Tour in 2016. Abloh served as the creative director for the tour, while Dean was the musical director.

Together, they created an immersive and groundbreaking concert experience, one that pushed the boundaries of what we expect from a live music event. The tour featured a floating stage, which enabled Kanye to perform from above the audience, creating a sense of intimacy and connection that was unlike anything we had ever seen before.

But it wasn't just the physical design of the tour that set it apart – Abloh and Dean also worked together to create a unique sonic experience. They experimented with innovative techniques like live sampling, incorporating sounds from the crowd as well as unconventional instruments like saxophones and trumpets.

The result was a concert experience that was both visually stunning and sonically groundbreaking. Fans left the show feeling as though they had witnessed something truly special and unique.

Since then, Abloh and Dean's influence on live music events has only continued to grow. Abloh has worked on projects like the Louis Vuitton Men’s Spring/Summer 2019 show, which featured a collaboration with Drake, while Dean has been touring with Travis Scott on his Astroworld tour.

Their work reminds us that concerts are not just about the music – they are about creating a complete sensory experience that transports us to another world. And with Abloh and Dean leading the way, we can't wait to see where this revolution in live music takes us next.
