Decentraland Metaverse Music Festival Features Paris Hilton, 3LAU, and More

Put on your virtual dancing shoes! Paris Hilton, Deadmau5, 3LAU, and more are joining Decentraland’s first of its kind ‘Metaverse Festival’. The four-day event will kick off on October 21 and will feature music performances, games, merchandise stands, a VIP area, and more.

“A four-day celebration of music, culture and creativity in the virtual social world of Decentraland, the Metaverse Festival is a grand collision of light, sound and portable toilets,” Metaverse Festival notes on its website. “It’s the first event of its kind – a fully decentralized celebration of music.”

Decentraland Metaverse Festival

Decentraland Metaverse Festival will have over 80 music stars performing across five stages. Nina Nesbitt, Alison Wonderland, and Aluna are some of the other artists in the line-up. Many of the stars participating in the festival have already established themselves in the NFT world.

Hilton, for instance, launched her NFT collection in April this year. In June, she also invested in Origin Protocol and joined as an advisor. Meanwhile, electronic dance music producer and DJ 3LAU sold NFTs of his tokenized Ultraviolet album for $11.6 million. Moreover, along with JD Ross, he founded Royal Music NFT Platform which recently raised $16 million in seed funding.

With many international tours canned amid the pandemic, the Metaverse Festival is also giving the stars a chance to connect with their fans.

“I’m not able to tour internationally at the moment, and it made me think of other ways I can perform and connect with my fan base,” Nesbitt told Coindesk. “I thought this was a really interesting way and something that’s quite new and has not been done that much before in the pop world so I wanted to give it a try.” 

Decentraland’s Metaverse Festival is centred around the theme of Evolution and will evolve through the four days. While day one will represent Water, day 2 will represent Earth. Space and Metaverse will follow suit.

Participants of the festival will also receive POAPs (attendance badges) and airdrops. Decentraland will unveil more artists and other details about the festival in the coming days.
