Scheduled to launch in 2017, Boiler Room has just announced a partnership with virtual reality hub Inception to create a VR music venue.
The venue will be specially constructed to host VR streams, which audiences will then be able to experience from the comfort of home with their own VR headsets. Blaise Bellville, Boiler Room’s CEO, says that the new endeavor is a result of their growing interest in immersing remote audiences, touting that the new venue will “bring people even closer to what it’s like being at a sweaty rave or an amazing concert half-way across the world.”
