Celebrating Nightlife with Smirnoff Midnight Circus
Smirnoff, the world’s leading vodka brand, is breathing new life into the night with the launch of Smirnoff Midnight Circus, a global tour celebrating unique nightlife experiences in more than 25 cities.
The program is a collection of ideas – a celebration of the newest, most extraordinary spectacles in nightlife. It is not a circus in the traditional sense of the word, but a modern interpretation by the brand in collaboration with influencers and cutting-edge artists.
To help bring the vision to life, the brand is collaborating with renowned artist and photographer David LaChapelle to create an interactive art installation to be unveiled at premiere events in Mexico City and Bangkok on September 7 and 15, respectively. The piece will inspire a series of experiences taking place around the world over the next six months.

At events around the world, fans of legal purchase age will find DJ’s, performers, and mixologists. The experiences will feature two themes: events driven by an innovative use of light to elevate the nightlife experience, and “Secret Sessions” – experiences at unexpected venues with unannounced performances by top musical acts.
“We’re launching this global effort to not only provide fans with unexpected experiences, but also encourage them to find inspiration by trying something new,” stated Michelle Klein, VP, Smirnoff Global Marketing. “Our collaboration with LaChapelle is bringing that vision to life in a big way.”
