The Possibly Exciting Future Of Music And VR

Right now, VR is getting a lot of attention and hype, especially in the music world. Artists like Run the Jewels, Björk, and U2 are already getting their feet wet with the still-developing tech, creating 360-degree music videos and musical experiences. There’s a lot of talk about how VR could potentially change the game in terms of live music and festivals, with publications like Noiseynoting that festivals seem to be “gearing up for an arms race in VR experiences.” People are considering possibilities from enhanced, 360-degree concert streaming, to allowing more fans to view the show from the first row, to even allowing fans to “perform” on stage along with their favorite artists, all through VR. So far, my only experiences with VR have been at either mall kiosks or contemporary art museums. Obviously VR, especially high-quality VR, isn’t the most accessible way of consuming content at the moment, but if it becomes more accessible, it has potential to totally shake up the way we consume and interact with music.
