London’s iconic Brixton Academy is set to host a series of special new 360-degree Virtual Reality gigs.
The new series comes from promoter Live Nation and MelodyVR, the team behind the recent virtual Wireless Connect, held last weekend in the place of the cancelled Wireless Festival.
‘Live From O2 Academy Brixton’ will see unique live performances from bands and artists to be announced soon, transporting fans into the London venue.
During the gigs, fans will be able to choose their spot from which to watch the gig, and available on the MelodyVR app.
Sounds like a great idea to us and great to see another iconic part of UK music, adapting and overcoming recent challenges to our industry.
Who do you want to see playing a virtual gig at Brixton Academy?
