# Inflatable Concert Halls The Arc Nova is a Mobile Inflatable Venue Which Will be Used for Music By Thomas Wade-West | Published 2013-09-24 | Updated 2013-09-26 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc-nova References: [spoon-tamago](http://www.spoon-tamago.com/2013/09/24/the-worlds-first-inflatable-concert-hall-will-begin-touring-ravaged-areas-of-japan/) The first mobile inflatable concert hall has been built in Japan dubbed the 'Arc Nova.' This massive bubble can accommodate up to 500 people including stage, audio equipment, lights, seating and so forth. The Arc Nova was created by Japanese architect Arata Isozaki and British-Indian sculptor Anish Kapoor. The structure took around one entire year to complete. This venue was created as a mobile venue for the purpose of touring around earthquake and tsunami devastated areas of Tohoku, for the purpose of delivering encouragement through music. This structure takes two hours to inflate, but the time and effort creating this project is going to an amazing cause. The first scheduled performance at the Arc Nova is October 12th, and the entire lineup of artists can be found on the Arc Nova website. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Mobile Inflatable Venues:** Opportunity for creating portable event spaces that can be easily transported and set up in various locations. - **Touring Concerts:** Potential for touring concerts to bring music and entertainment to different regions, particularly those affected by natural disasters or in need of encouragement. - **Collaborative Architectural Projects:** Increase in collaborations between architects and artists, resulting in innovative and unique structures for specific purposes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Event Planning and Management:** Event planners can explore new opportunities in organizing events with mobile inflatable venues, providing unique experiences for attendees. - **Music and Entertainment:** Artists and musicians can consider touring concerts in inflatable venues as a way to reach new audiences and support communities in need. - **Architecture and Design:** Architects and designers can find opportunities in collaborating with artists to create innovative structures that serve specific functions, such as mobile concert halls. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Inflatable-Orb Stage Set Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whomadewho.md) - [Inflatable House-Shaped Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-architecture-inflatable-tent.md) - [Inflated Design Classroom Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intermittent-dome.md) - [Four-Season Inflatable Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourseason-inflatable-tent.md) - [Inflatable Modular Greenhouses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/havn.md) - [Inflatable Four-Season Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-station-pod01.md) - [Automated Inflatable Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automated-inflatable-tent.md) - [Inflatable Geodesic Adventure Tents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerogogo-aerotent-series.md) - [Artful Garden Inflatable Spheres](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/this-is-air.md)
