Global Tour Program Details
World Tour Year is a curated global artist incubator designed to help independent creatives expand their reach through international travel, structured development, and cultural immersion.
This is not a traditional tour or label program. It’s a disciplined, experience-driven platform built for artists ready to grow beyond borders.
Creative Ownership & IP
Artists retain ownership of their original creative work produced during the program. World Tour Year will request limited rights to use content for promotional and documentary purposes, with full transparency.
Program Length & Destinations
Pilot Program
3 months · 2–3 countries
Full Program (Future Cohorts)
12 months · 6–12 countries
Programs are intentionally flexible. If an artist gains strong traction in a specific region—through performances, collaborations, or audience growth—extended stays may be considered to support momentum and long-term opportunity.

Assigned coaches
On-location representatives
Daily check-ins and structured sessions
Support is designed to keep artists focused, accountable, and progressing throughout the experience.
