MELODYVR AND NEC GROUP EXCLUSIVE PARTNERSHIP
EVR Holdings plc (AIM: EVRH), the leading creator of virtual
reality music content, is pleased to announce an exclusive
multi-year partnership with National Exhibition Center Limited.
From today, virtual reality (VR) market leader, MelodyVR, is
working with the NEC Group Arenas to offer exclusive virtual access
to selected live events in each of its venues.
Concert goers will be able to access a selection of live events
held at the Genting Arena and Arena Birmingham venues, using the
power of virtual reality technology. MelodyVR will also live stream
real-time concerts via VR and offer virtual concert tickets to
sold-out shows with artists, enabling an unlimited number of fans
to attend in-demand concerts around the globe.
The concerts, as well as virtual concert tickets, will be
available to purchase via the MelodyVR app on all Oculus Go and
Samsung Gear VR virtual reality headsets. In addition, upcoming VR
shows will also be promoted on selected event pages on The Ticket
Factory website - the official box office for the NEC Group Arenas.
Upcoming acts billed to perform at NEC Group Arenas include 50
Cent, Britney Spears and Florence & The Machine.
Ian Congdon, Head of NEC Group Arena Sales said: "VR is
transforming the concert experience and shifting how fans can
consume music, so it's fantastic to partner with MelodyVR as
pioneers in this field. Their usage of exciting features and
technological capabilities means missing a 'must-see' or sold out
show could become a thing of the past. Nothing can beat
experiencing live music in a venue, but offering VR concerts to our
customers gives them more opportunities to experience the live
music they love and get closer to artists than ever before."
Anthony Matchett, CEO of MelodyVR said: "I'm very pleased to
announce our exclusive partnership with NEC Group Arenas, which
will see events live-streamed directly from their infamous venues,
as well as VR event tickets promoted via their official box office
website - The Ticket Factory. Our relationship with the NEC Group
forms part of a series of commercial arrangements which we expect
to conclude over the coming weeks with other landmark entertainment
venues. It is my intention to provide a trading and strategic
update as part of our interim results for the six months ended 30
June 2018, the content of which will provide greater insight as to
the direction and ambitions of our business."
