First live VR experience Angerfist, #36 in the Top 100 DJ’s ranking by DJMag, is proud to enter the virtual stage: “I can honestly say I have never experienced anything like this. It’s amazing how you are really transported into the events’ theme but at the same time, with the show and people around you, have the feeling of being at an event.” Besides the live experiences, fans can also go back in time to relive some of the best hard dance sets together with friends in an XR experience on the platform. They can show their technical skills too, as they have the ability to operate the lights during the show.

With their events they serve more than two hundred thousand visitors every year. Nikita van Seggelen, marketing manager at Art of Dance continues: “We are used to creating themed worlds and stories around our events and take the visitors on a journey along the way. When the Corona virus hit our scene hard, we directly switched to the mindset: “what can we do to keep on doing what we love?; creating experiences to make our fans escape reality.” Available on Steam The early access price to enter PYTHIAN is € 9.99 (regular price is € 14.99).
