With concert venues closed and mustic festivals cancelled for the season, live entertainment experiences are moving online. While some online events have taken the form of virtual concerts, multi-part music series or intimate performances on social media, Yungblud launched The YUNGBLUD Show, a livestream online gig. The artist recently also worked with LadBible’s music platform, UNILAD Sound, to create another unique virtual gig experience. As part of the virtual show, the 22-year-old artist appeared as a life-sized hologram.
The performance invited fans from all over the world to tune in via their phones, and see the performer—who was filmed using a green screen—in augmented reality. While the experience is still available online for a limited time, another version will also be shared to young audiences via LADbible’s Snapchat Discover Edition.
