Martin Solveig and Kungs are Streaming a DJ Set Atop the French Alps for Tomorrowland Winter
Since the 2021 edition of Tomorrowland Winter was frozen by the icy bite of COVID-19, the iconic festival brand is going virtual. In lieu of the the snowy festival utopia, which debuted in 2019, Tomorrowland is hosting a one-of-a-kind streaming event live from Alpe d’Huez, a scenic ski resort situated in the Central French Western Alps.

Kaskade is Getting His Own Fortnite “Party Royale” Concert
Even before concerts were forced online due to the ongoing pandemic, Epic Games‘ flagship title, Fortnite, was hosting full-scale events. After a groundbreaking performance from Marshmello in 2019, they would go on to invite Travis Scott, J Balvin, BTS, deadmau5, and more to the virtual stage. Now, celebrating his recent crossover with Epic Games’ recently-acquired title, Rocket League, Kaskade is primed for an in-game performance. Seemingly due to the nature of the games themselves, the event will not actually take place in the Rocket League application, but rather in the world of Fortnite and the Houseparty app. However, this does not mean there won’t be tons of rocket-powered car soccer elements included. Organizers promise a show that wil...

Burning Man Issues “Gentle Nudge” to Campsite Organizers, Spurring Speculation of 2021 Event
While large scale events for 2021 have generally remained on ice, Burning Man has sent out a signal to its theme camps to consider planning for a possible event this year. To be clear: Burning Man organizers have not yet officially indicated that a 2021 event is in the cards. In mid-February the festival communicated to fans via an official blog post that it was “simply too early to make the call.” In that same correspondence, they committed to deliver a final answer to stakeholders by no later than the end of May. Despite the indecision, an email from Burning Man’s placement team was recently sent to camp organizers suggesting they engage their camps. “Consider this a gentle nudge to start talking about your camp again,” the email reads. “Put out your f...
