Wide Open News­papers × Valentino Khan

Limited-edition newspaper prints for the 2026 tour · one edition per night · never reprinted · never discounted
01 — The idea, simply

Two types of products

Product A — Open tour edition

One design for the whole tour, sold at every stop and online, closed forever when the tour ends. Simpler, batch-printed to demand — no per-city collectible story, so it earns a lower price point.

Product B — Limited edition, per night

A unique newspaper for each show — the city, the night, the setlist, the writing. Run sized to the room; when a night sells out, that edition is gone forever. Scarcity is real and dated, so it carries a higher price point than a poster.

They combine well: per-night editions at the shows, the open edition online only — the collector object and the accessible one, without either undercutting the other.

02 — Why Wide Open

We handle everything end to end

End-to-end. Event production with H&M and Highsnobiety. Production for Nike. TikTok marketing for Noah Kahan. Creative direction with over 20 artists across genres. We stock our own newspapers through our own global distribution — Magculture, Yvon Lambert, Skylight, Quimby's.

Design, print, logistics, promo, distribution — one team, one pipeline. Full-size newsprint where every spread opens into a wall poster, with real writing on the backs. Your team approves at concept, layout, and final. We run the rest.

03 — Financial structures

Revenue splits

Pick the structure — the products below work under either.

You finance it

You cover production at cost plus our design & production fee, and keep everything. More money, small upfront — the right call if you're confident in the run.

We finance it

Wide Open pays for everything — design, print, shipping. Costs recoup off the top, then the net splits 60/40 in the artist's favor. You write no checks and carry zero risk.

08 — The product

What you get

Base price covers a 24-page digital tabloid newspaper (6 sheets). Two pages focused on editorial writing, the rest primarily images, plus front and back cover design. Printed on newsprint — every spread opens into a wall poster.

Page count, paper stock, and additional editorial are priced separately if needed.

Turnaround

Printing and shipping take a week. The only real time variable is design.
