Tomorrowland Releases Tickets and Packages for NYE Virtual Festival, Shares Stage Preview
Tickets to Tomorrowland’s first-ever NYE virtual festival are on sale now.

Not to mention all the money you’ll save on a one-time outfit and overpriced kamikaze shots. Tomorrowland organizers have shared a glimpse into the festival and given fans a taste of what they can expect at the highly anticipated follow-up to their virtual debut, Tomorrowland Around The World.

Watch Kayzo Drop Filthy Unreleased Dubstep Track at Ultra Taiwan
In his official return to the festival scene, Kayzo went as hard as you could imagine. In his official return to the festival scene, Kayzo went as hard as you could imagine. The bass music titan touched down in East Asia for Ultra Taiwan and didn’t disappoint, dropping an absolute flamethrower of a set chock full of his anthemic bass music and signature, metal-infused electronic sound. It was an unreleased ID that he debuted at the end of his set, however, that had the crowd buzzing about his performance. Kayzo took to Twitter to share a clip of the drop and exult in his first “normal” festival performance since the onset of the global lockdown period. “No words to describe this moment. Surreal to feel this again,” he wrote. “I almost teared up multiple ...
Major Lazer is Performing a Groundbreaking Concert in Social VR for Oculus’ “Venues”
Major Lazer is on a mission to shatter the boundaries of music and VR. Thanks to the impact of COVID-19, the live music industry has mutated into a Frankenstein-like monster of drive-in shows, Black Mirror-esque bubble concerts, and quasi-legal raves. Since live music literally has nowhere to go, it has invaded the livestreaming and immersive tech fields, which have emerged as fortuitous bolt-holes as concert venues across the globe navigate the convoluted process of reopening. Ergo, artists and event promoters have been forced to adapt to a digital lifestyle in order to reach fans during a time when they are simply unable to connect via live music. Barnstorming, Latin Grammy Award-nominated dance music trio Major Lazer is the latest act to do so by testing the white-hot waters of th...
Four Ultra Taiwan Performers Fined for Violating Country’s Quarantine Guidelines
The unnamed performers were fined for leaving their rooms at the designated quarantine building. Four performers who took the stage at Road to Ultra Taiwan over the weekend have been fined for violating the country’s quarantine guidelines. Each artist has been fined NT$10,000 (US$351) for leaving their room during their mandatory 14-day isolation period. While it’s not clear which artists were fined for breaking their quarantine, the event did feature several non-local performers. Taiwan News reports that one of the artists posted a video online showing the quartet contravening the country’s policy of one person per room for 14 days. While the artists aren’t accused of hitting the town and being around the general public, they are said to have met up ...
Kaskade, Afrojack, More to Perform at EDC Orlando Virtual-Rave-A-Thon: See the Full Lineup
Riot Ten, Eptic, and more are also set to perform at Insomniac’s two-day virtual event. With two promising COVID-19 vaccines on the horizon, the future is finally starting to look bright. While there’s room for optimism, we’re still not out of the water yet and we’ll have to patiently wait for our beloved concerts and festivals to make their return. Luckily, Insomniac is continuing its trend of providing live entertainment while we stay safe at home. In honor of their postponed fall event, Pasquale Rotella and company will be hosting an EDC Orlando-branded “Virtual Rave-A-Thon” this weekend. Across Insomniac’s social media pages, organizers shared a lineup animation and revealed who would be taking the stage at the virtual outing. T...

Relive Road to Ultra Taiwan Sets from Alesso, SLANDER, Kayzo, and More
Those who missed the in-person event or its livestream can now enjoy recordings from the four headlining acts. While most of the world’s music fans are persevering the global live music festival shutdown due to the ongoing health crisis, the party raged on in Taiwan over the weekend. Due to the fact that they have less than ten documented COVID-19 cases in the entire country at the time of writing, and just over 600 since the virus was declared a pandemic back in March, government officials gave organizers the green light to host Road to Ultra Taiwan on Saturday. To the delight of those living in countries without live music and to those who might have missed the livestream, a fan uploaded the headlining performances to YouTube after their premiere. Included are sets from ...
The Bass Music Scene is Coming Together to Raise Funds for YAKZ’s Emergency Surgery
A GoFundMe has already raised over $14,000 and a livestream fundraiser featuring SVDDEN DEATH has been planned by Space Yacht and Halcyon. As is the case with many musicians in 2020, bass music mainstay YAKZ has lost his main source of income due to restrictions contrived by the COVID-19 pandemic. That already makes day-to-day life tough for artists who rely on income from live performances and touring, but unfortunately YAKZ is facing even more difficulty than most. The famed electronic producer and DJ has been diagnosed with severe Periodontitis and gum disease, which could spread into his bloodstream and eventually into his heart, a severe diagnosis only made worse by the fact that YAKZ was born with a heart murmur. That murmur would make it even more difficult for him to fight off...
Netsky to Air Exclusive Album Livestream from ZOO Antwerpen
Netsky, ZOO Antwerpen, Beatport, UKF On Air, and Hospital Records have teamed up to bring Netsky’s “Second Nature Album Showcase” to life. Last month, drum & bass icon Netsky released his highly anticipated fourth studio album, the incredible Second Nature. Unfortunately, there cannot be an album release tour, as the world remains in a quarantined and locked down state amid the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Netsky found a way to share Second Nature in a beautiful way regardless. Harnessing the power of livestreaming—which most performers have taken to in lieu of live shows—Netsky will perform the “Second Nature Album Showcase” live from ZOO Antwerpen in his home country of Belgium. The zoo, Beatport, UKF On Air, and Hospital Records...
