Packaged in a vinyl LP slipcase and featuring shots from Canadian musician and photographer Bryan Adams, the 2022 Pirelli Calendar, “On The Road,” is both a celebration of music and a return to tradition. Pirelli, which is celebrating its 150th anniversary, presented its 48th calendar in a digital event Nov. 29.

The calendar captures an artist’s life on tour, with photos of Adams as well as 10 internationally famous musicians—Cher, Grimes, Jennifer Hudson, Normani, Rita Ora, Bohan Phoenix, Iggy Pop, Saweetie, St. Vincent and Kali Uchis—taken over three days at locations in Los Angeles and Italy’s Isle of Capri. More than 70 portraits and scenes are laid-out across the 160-page calendar.

“It would be very, very hard to encapsulate everything that happens on the road in a couple of days,” Adams said, “so what I tried to do was to represent some of the aspects of it … for example, musicians never really see the front of the building, they see the back of the building, we see the stage door, we see the backstage area, we see the basement of a building.”

“You go from the stage door to the car door to the hotel door to the train door to the bus door, so it’s a bunch of doors, but it’s always about travelling…”

The calendar is making its return this year after being paused in 2020 by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
