The team behind Glastonbury Festival‘s famed Shangri-La area have announced
Lost Horizon, a new virtual reality festival.
Set to take place online July 3-4, Lost Horizon will see Shangri-La team up
with VRJAM and Sansar “to create the world’s largest independent music
festival in virtual reality.”

Lost Horizon is described as “a real festival in a virtual world: a fully
interactive and multi-stage event to explore via PC, VR or mobile app or
streamed live and direct to wherever you are on the planet.”
A full lineup of musical talent, including Fatboy Slim, Frank Turner, Carl
Cox, Skream, Pete Tong, Sasha, Seth Troxler and Eats Everything, has been
curated for the event, which you can see in full below.
Over 200 visual arts pieces have also been created for Lost Horizon, with the
works having been curated by ShangrilART on the ongoing theme of human
connection. Lost Horizon will ask festivalgoers to donate to The Big Issue
and Amnesty International during the festival’s duration.
Shangri-La’s creative director Kaye Dunnings said of Lost Horizon: “Our
mission is to pioneer new ways of sharing culture and creating a global
community that we feel defines us and our ethos. We need unity more than ever
right now, in an industry that is falling away in front of us.
“By creating a digital platform to experience art and music in a new way, we
are at the forefront of defining the next generation of live entertainment
and creative communities as we know them.”
Lost Horizon will be streamed live and direct via Beatport and Twitch through
July 3-4, while it’ll also be broadcast on partner and artist Facebook,
YouTube and Twitch accounts.
Lost Horizon will be available to experience through VR headsets, while those
who wish to experience the festival via their PC desktop will need to obtain
a free ticket here.
Those who want to visit Lost Horizon through their smartphone will need to
download the Lost Horizon mobile app from June 26.
