The Grammy-award-winning artist, known for his dynamic stage presence and iconic hits have been captivating audiences for decades with his genre-defying sound and magnetic stage presence. Kravitz, who recently received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, has been hard at work crafting his highly anticipated upcoming album, Blue Electric Light, which is already generating buzz among fans and critics alike ahead of its launch on 24th May, just one week before the UEFA Champions League Final Kick Off Show presented by Pepsi.
To further build hype for the highly anticipated performance, later today Pepsi will be releasing an energetic short film titled 'Wembley Is Blue | Lenny Kravitz x UCL Final Kick Off Show by Pepsi' In the film, we hear the unmistakable echoes of the UEFA Champions League anthem being whistled as Lenny Kravitz slowly walks down a tunnel, paintbrush in hand, covering the walls in Pepsi Blue…. before walking out onto the hallowed turf of Wembley Stadium. We see the rockstar strut past the majestic UEFA Champions League trophy, before stepping out on to the hallowed turf of the stadium, when the camera suddenly pans out to reveal a blue, painted mural of his face covering the pitch and a pulsating stadium, preparing London for the ultimate show.
