This to me, is slightly reminiscent of when Marshmello did a concert in Fortnite. I mean, I guess it’s the same concept, but maybe it’ll spawn a new subset of concerts? Or maybe pay-per-view concerts where you literally pay, just to watch a stream. It’s not as ridiculous as it sounds, because we do it for sports, the news, and pretty much anything Live. But an online concert, still seems a bit meh. It takes away from the experience, I feel. But for these indie bands, it’s a chance to showcase themselves, so this is still a step in the right direction.
It’s only a matter of time before everything we do is fully digital anyway, so might as well, right?
