2. The Killers. The killers has a clear intent with its website, as it is immediately telling you that they are live in Vegas in August 2024, which is shortly followed by more tour dates underneath. The bands, links and header, sits above the sign for the Vegas show, making it seem more natural. And they also advertise there most recent music video, with a store beneath it which is promoting their albums and putting them up for sale. And at the bottom of their website there is a sign up so you can get updates to do with the band.

3. Journey Journey has a video fronting their website to promote their upcoming tour which plays as soon as you enter the website, with a scrolling text with the dates and locations. And links to purchase the tickets below Lots of other artists included as part of the shows to bring in a larger audience.   They have their albums on sale. Aswell as a meet the artist's optional page.  They have a merch page, advertising the clothes they sell. A preview of their instagram , with some of their best photos, and clicking on them takes you to their instagram page. And a sign up sheet so you get reminders and notifications about the band.

They also have a news section where they talk about their new tour, the fact that one of their songs "This is the day" has appeared in the most recent Guardians of The Galaxy film, which grossed over $840million in the worldwide box office.
