“This is a massive opportunity for us to pilot a new business model for Spring Awakening that unifies a digital and in-real-life concert-viewing experience, and takes it from being a regional event to being truly national,” said Dermot McCormack, president of LiveXLive. “This year’s lineup and digital ticketing paired with additional perks for subscribers is just the beginning of the vision for the 10th Anniversary Spring Awakening in 2021.”
In addition to an eclectic artist lineup, Virtual SAMF 2020 will feature exclusive merch, talent meet-and-greets, interviews with many of the artists, and look-backs at previous years’ SAMF festivals — all available as part of LiveXLive’s music news and interview show LiveZone.
