Metamorphosis - Music Healing Houston is a drive-in music festival that was hosted in the city's Minute Maid Park on June 13th. The event was organized by Silent Disco Vibe, a company specializing in interactive yet silent celebrations and aimed to bring music lovers and community members together during an uncertain time in history.
Seeking to connect Houston's community during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and recent political unrest, the event was home to three interactive stages and featured live performances by bands and DJs including Los Skarnales, The Waxaholics, Ichikara Valdez, Bayou City Funk and more.
In addition to a drive-in setup that adhered to social distancing safety measures, the event also featured silent disco headphones for ticket holders who got to choose between three channels, each representing a different live stage that could be experienced from inside their vehicle.
