Sansar’s First Big Music Event as a Wookey-Owned Platform Featuring Fatboy Slim Starts Tomorrow

In case you missed the announcement, starting tomorrow is the first major live music event in Sansar as a non-Linden Lab, now Wookey-owned platform – a virtual world music festival featuring Fatboy Slim called Lost Horizon:

For the first time ever, you can experience one of the most iconic British festival destinations from the comfort of your home, all while raising money for two amazing causes – The Big Issue and Amnesty International.

Go here to RSVP for a free ticket. If you have a Vive HMD, you can get a free premium pass (for "virtual merch, special in-game powers and art") by going here. 

I mean no one's doing live real world music shows nowadays, not even Vanilla Ice, so why not now?

    I checked it out – I love Fatboy Slim, and it was a lot of fun to see him. It was pretty impressive – the avatar moved in real-time, with the movements matching what was shown on the video screen. Things have come a long, long way since the “U2 in SL” days. Wookey had set up a ton of NPCs, so it was hard to get a good count, but from folks I was talking to in the area, probably about 50 folks hanging out.
    Fatboy Slim brought his daughter up to help spin at one point, it was pretty sweet. He was closing with Right Here, Right Now… but the stream got messed up and cut in and out. So we missed the grand final, but all in all, pretty darn cool. I was in my Valve Index and the immersion and audio were great. Here are a few screenshots I took on my monitor: https://twitter.com/FlipperPA/status/1279144798872428549
    All in all, it was really nice to feel immersed in a music performance. I regularly see live music in first life, and I’ve missed it during the lock down. I’ll probably check out more in the future.
