artists and all while virtually meeting up and partying with your mates along
the way.

Global Village and expand your mental bandwidth at Splendour Forum. Kids getting
in your grill? Set those rug rats up with Little Splendour and buy yourself
some chill time. Then dive in all over again!
Splendour XR has been created in collaboration with San
Francisco based platform developers Sansar, the world market leaders in social
virtual reality.
“Working with Splendour we have been challenged to go above and
beyond anything we’ve done before. This is going to be the most impressive
virtual live event that the consumer market has ever seen, and we can say that
with absolute confidence” said Pouyan Afkary, Business Development, Sansar.
Alongside the music, art and festival feels, XR will also hone
in on some more serious topics, like raising funds for live music industry
workers, mental health and wellbeing, and sustainability.
Splendour XR will include an online medical centre to assist
any patrons who are struggling with their mental health in this Covid world.
And XR is committed to managing emissions and creating a clean and green
platform with a minimal carbon footprint.
“Splendour has
always offered patrons a deep programming experience with The Forum, Global
Village, Little Splendour and more on offer alongside our favourite artists. We
could not be more excited about Splendour XR and the opportunity to take the Splendour
goodness online to our existing community and also to new audiences around the
globe.” said Splendour in the Grass Co-producers Jessica Ducrou and Paul
Piticco.
Tickets
available from $19.99 per day / Existing Splendour in the Grass IRL ticket
