MelodyVR unveils a global exclusive with Liam Gallagher as the
latest in its acclaimed concert series with Live Nation
Further unique events will be staged over the coming weeks,
including Burna Boy and Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes with
more to be announced
MelodyVR has this week announced an exclusive livestream with
Liam Gallagher, representing his much-anticipated return to
performing. Already attracting media attention around the world,
the one-of-a-kind virtual event will be broadcast globally on
Saturday, December 5.
The show, echoing unforgettable moments from the Sex Pistols and
The Clash, will see the British rock legend accompanied by his full
band performing on a barge travelling along the Thames, against a
backdrop of London's most famous landmarks. The show will include
iconic songs, along with fan favourites and many surprises,
spanning both his solo career and his legendary time with Oasis -
some of which he hasn't performed live in years.
MelodyVR's ground-breaking technology will put an international
at-home audience at the heart of the action, offering a stunning
visual and audio experience. Tickets go on general sale from 9am UK
time on Friday, November 13 via Live Nation and MelodyVR
directly.
The news is the most recent in a string of announcements from
MelodyVR. Following the acclaimed Wireless Connect virtual festival
in July, and its 'Live from LA' series - a collection of
groundbreaking broadcasts featuring artists including John Legend,
Cypress Hill and Kesha from a specially created state-of-the-art
studio - MelodyVR unveiled the virtual concert partnership with
Live Nation in the summer.
Kicking off with singer-songwriter Tom Grennan from the renowned
O2 Academy Brixton in early October, the series has received
widespread acclaim for the immersive nature and quality of the
experiences it offers. The Tom Grennan livestream had viewers tune
in for an average of 59 mins of the hour-long billed show and saw
approximately 22,000 'jump spot' interactions during the
performance, demonstrating the appeal and excitement of shows which
both accurately convey the live experience whilst simultaneously
offering interactive features.
This Friday, November 13, MelodyVR will present 'Brixton By
Request' with punk rockers Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes. The
performance will include brand new elements such as fan chosen
setlists and a 'virtual stage invasion'. Just last week, Nigerian
Afrofusion megastar Burna Boy was announced as MelodyVR's next
feature artist. Burna Boy's 'Live from London' show will be
streamed around the globe from Brixton on Wednesday, November
18.
The MelodyVR and Live Nation ticketed events allow music fans
from around the world to access wholly one-off gigs from their own
homes via the MelodyVR app on smartphones, via web and on VR
headsets.
Anthony Matchett - Executive Chairman and CEO said:
"We're thrilled to be making this series of amazing concerts
available to fans. In addition, as a British founded company,
working on an amazing performance with Liam Gallagher, featuring
some of London's most recognisable landmarks is a great honour.
Tickets for Liam's performance are on general sale from Friday and
based on the strong pre-sale appetite for this show, it will
definitely be an event to remember. As a business, we'll be
demonstrating our ability to create and distribute content across
multiple-formats and devices, which will be a key part of the
combined Napster/Melody platform once the transaction concludes
."

About MelodyVR
MelodyVR launched in 2018 with a simple mandate: not to replace
the live music experience, but to harness the power of virtual
reality to get people closer to the music they love.
By using VR technology, the founders realised that they could
place fans in the crowd or on stage with their favourite musicians
at live events. From epic stadium shows to intimate studio
performances, the possibilities are endless: capacity restrictions
are eliminated, music lovers can attend otherwise sold-out dates,
and the barriers (distance, age, cost, access) that might keep
people from experiencing their heroes live are swept away. The
result? Artists can reach more fans than ever before, with a level
of intimacy which has previously not been possible.
MelodyVR is the only licensed VR music platform and has the
world's largest library of exclusive immersive and interactive
music experiences from the likes of Post Malone, Lewis Capaldi,
Kesha, Tom Grennan, Cypress Hill, Blake Shelton, Mabel, Wiz
Khalifa, Kelly Clarkson, The Chainsmokers and Panic! At the
Disco.
Available on smartphones and VR headsets, the MelodyVR app can
