    Those aren't billboards, they're advertising the new poster sizes at concerts, gigaton.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Gigaton sounds like a very un-PJ album title if it’s that

    Apparently you can just point the AR lens at a photo of the location from the comfort of your home.

    You can point the lens at the picture on your computer and it just shows a 3D animated version of the photo along with the music. I think that's about it, across the board, same for everyone in all these locations.

    I dont THINK this is concert related, correct?   Are we sure there that only GIGITON is on the poster/billboard and nothing else?

    Gigaton is how they measure how much ice Antarctica is losing

    It is also equal to 1 billion tons, as in CO2 emissions.  Based on the picture that's what I would guess.

    When you click on a lens, it brings up this link for a quick second while redirecting you to FB and the gram.

    So am thinking they all say Gigaton on the billboards.

    Gigaton -- a unit of explosive force equal to one billion (109) tons of trinitrotoluene (TNT)

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2015/07/01/meet-the-gigaton-the-huge-unit-that-scientists-use-to-track-planetary-change/
    "Scientists often measure the loss of ice from the planet’s two gigantic ice sheets, Greenland and Antarctica, in a particular unit called a “gigaton,” which is sometimes also spelled “gigatonne.” Either way, it’s not something you encounter in your ordinary life, because it’s incredibly “giga-ntic” — the kind of unit that planets depend on."

    The image does kind of look like melting ice sheets. Hence the Gigaton name.

    It surely isn’t.

    The poster for London this year says “ONLY UK SHOW THIS YEAR” and London is on the map.

    Did anyone receive a handwritten letter from band lately? Read this on Third Man about Coldplay's album:
    "The album's cover image ... was teased last week in mysterious posters and billboards all around the world, from São Paulo to Tokyo....The first details of Everyday Life were revealed earlier this week when the band mailed typed, hand-signed notes to 500 Coldplay fans around the world."

    If anyone is able to get a video of the animation when they scan the billboard, please post.  I will try to update the main page with links.

    Assuming its album related I love the image.  Hopefully the music is experimental and awesome
