Solar Sounds Festival
With the outcome of many summer festivals still hanging in the balance, ‘uncertainty’ is the buzzword for sponsors and festival promoters alike once again this summer. But there’s been no such problem for the metaverse. The festival season continues to go from strength to strength in the digital world — and the numbers show that metaverse crowds are getting BIG.
Our latest offering, the Solar Sounds Festival, which ran the whole of July and saw more than 14 million visits and close to 400 hours of non-stop music since launch! And there’s still more to come!
DJ, producer, entrepreneur and sustainability pioneer Sam Feldt will close the festival with his feel-good hits from 30th July 30 to 3rd August. It’s set to be Avakin’s largest concert ever, and further evidence that bigger and better stars are embracing the metaverse experience. If you haven’t already, check out the Solar Sounds Festival today!
Talent, talent, and…more talent!
There’s often so much happening at a festival, that it’s easy to forget the main reason why we all love them so much — the music! And it’s fair to say we’ve been blown away by the acts who’ve graced our stage.
The first week of Solar Sounds Festival offered up a wide range of brilliant performances, culminating in a spellbinding set from Canadian starlet, Dani Doucette. The Main Stage headliner put on an unforgettable performance that included crowd favourites Craved and Post It, along with a host of other tracks.
Not only did our acts put on amazing performances, some also stuck around for an interview too. Our very own Dale Avakin managed to sit down with Dani for an exclusive chat, where they spoke about everything from upbringings to Sci-Fi influences. The candid discussion is available over on our Instagram.
As well as the mesmerising vocals from Dani Doucette, we’ve also seen some show-stopping DJ sets from the likes of DJ Zanova and MC Soffia. The closing set from Sam Feldt looks guaranteed to see out the festival in true Avakin style!
Beyond the music
So, you’ve seen the amazing acts, and you’ve chosen an outfit from our super cool collection, but what will you do in the gaps between sets? Well, that’s where the parties come in! Festival-goers will have access to some of the most coveted beach events of the year. Here, players are able to unlock free rewards by competing in fun daily challenges.
A month-long celebration
Despite all of the unpredictability that we’ve all been faced with in recent months, Solar Sounds Festival serves as a timely reminder about how the metaverse can help us all enjoy the things we love.
So, while few outdoor events can promise they’ll even be going ahead this year, even fewer can say that they expect to reach a staggering 15 million people in a single month.
But that’s exactly what metaverse festivals like the Solar Sounds Festival are built for. And best of all, you don’t have to compete for a ticket or queue for hours to see your favourite acts. So if you want to try a festival with a difference, make sure you don’t miss out on the final week of the Solar Sounds Festival — see you in the crowds!.
Now the dust has settled and the festival has come to an end, it’s time to thank each and every one of you that joined us. We had a staggering 14 million visits across the entire Solar Sounds Festival, plus close to 1 million vouchers given to the community. It’s safe to say the whole event was a total success. Same again next year?
