With the diminishing number of live music clubs, it’s no wonder that festival demand is so high and ticket prices are outrageous. The VRLive music app my team is workshopping may be the garden rebirth of a new way for fans to enjoy live music and feel collective effervescence in an immersive environment. Our alpha team are loyal fans who are too young for bars, have health issues, live in rural areas, etc. From London to Japan to Detroit to Texas, we’ve built a community of regulars. Here is an article I wrote about collective effervescence, in case you’re interested.
And great shout on that collective effervescene - VR is definitely getting there in some situations. The collapse of geography is interesting as well, next step is to bring people together like gamers in LAN parties at some point.
Kikelomo’s piece reminded me of https://www.open-house.nl - founded by ID&T, AIR and MassiveMusic.
Some of their startups used festivals as test cases for eg tech solutions for refugee camps
Yes, so cool! Definitely touches on the cross-over from music to very different industries as well.

The VR shows I’m producing are gatherings and we’ve created quite a community from around the world. T
