The team behind Glastonbury Festival’s dynamic and ever-changing area Shangri-La has returned for a series of VR events next month at the world’s largest virtual reality music and arts venue, Lost Horizon. Launches early this year in response to the global pandemic, this series of event is a big leap for the team following July’s premiere four-stage festival to 4.36 million people, as it establishes itself as a new platform for artists unable to perform live during the pandemic and beyond.
Robin Collings, co-director of Lost Horizon:
“This feels like a new frontier for culture and the digital realm. Technology has leaped forward and we can now create something truly sociable, interactive and connected… our mission is to reflect real culture in our virtual world! This is going to be fun!”
Eight shows for the December season have been announced which will host performances from major global acts and takeovers from labels including Hospitality, Armada Record Box to name a few. This series of event will have Lost Horizon’s surprise magic including wild dancefloors, secret headliners and hidden wormholes.
