How to Hold a Music Festival in The Sandbox?

With the arrival of the Year of the Dragon, various concerts and events are being held one after another in Taiwan, bringing rich musical experiences to music fans.

For example, the Da Gang Kai Chang Music Festival in Kaohsiung at the end of March will feature many singers and groups performing.

Additionally, in April, Korean star IU (Lee Ji-eun) will hold a concert in Taiwan.

This gives fans in Taiwan a chance to enjoy live performances by their beloved stars without having to spend large sums of money traveling abroad.

In addition to these physical events, brands and celebrities also have the opportunity to host exclusive concerts and events on The Sandbox, providing fans with an unprecedented virtual experience.

Starting from February 14, Valentine's Day, The Sandbox hosted a month-long Love and Music Festival.

Today, nspace takes advantage of this season full of love and music to guide you through how to create a music festival experience on The Sandbox.

1. Music Festival Lineup

The most attractive part of a music festival is the opportunity to see many favorite singers and groups perform on stage. This is not only a musical feast for the fans, but also an opportunity for songwriters and bands to increase their exposure and popularity.

For example, in this edition of The Sandbox, many well-known singers and groups have created experiences to promote themselves.

This includes well-known music groups, singers, and bands such as Warner Music, Steve Aoki, and (G)I-Dle.

In addition to inviting well-known music creators, we can also search for suitable artists based on the theme of the music festival.

For example, if we are hosting a hip-hop music festival, we can invite hip-hop and rap artists such as Dogg, DJ J, and G.E.M. Then, we can create an experience in The Sandbox based on a music competition format.

This is similar to Taiwan's TV show "The Great Hip-Hop Era," where the music competition format brings a different kind of music experience to fans within The Sandbox.

This virtual music festival venue will have multiple stages, audience areas, rest zones, and merchandise sales areas.

Each stage will be personalized based on the different creative styles of the performers, creating a unique viewing experience.

So, the next step is how we can create customized, exclusive experiences based on each artist.

2. Customized Stage Design for Artists

When designing a dedicated stage for an artist in The Sandbox, there are a few key points to consider.

These are crucial to ensure that we create an engaging and effective The Sandbox experience that conveys the artist's brand and music style.

A. Artist's Brand and Style

Stage design needs to reflect the artist's personality and musical style.

For example, if the artist is known for energetic performances, the stage design should include dynamic elements and incorporate the artist's branding.

Integrating the artist's iconic symbols, colors, and themes into the stage design will strengthen brand recognition.

Here, we use the experience of (G)-Idle in The Sandbox as an example.

When entering the (G)I-Dle Land game experience, we can see graffiti all around.

At this moment, the background music playing in the experience is one of (G)I-DLE's popular tracks, "TOM BOY."

"TOM BOY" refers to a girl who exhibits typical boy-like traits or behaviors.

However, (G)I-DLE redefines this term through the song, transforming it into an attitude of being bold and true to oneself.

Breaking traditions and carrying a bit of rebelliousness is clearly evident in the music video.

The visuals from the (G)I-DLE music video are also fully interpreted within The Sandbox experience.

B. The Artist's Music

In addition, the experience in The Sandbox also features (G)I-DLE's albums from over the years.

For fans of (G)I-DLE, seeing their favorite albums on display will be exciting.

Players who aren't yet familiar with (G)I-DLE can get to know the group better through these albums and the background music playing, which may lead them to become fans of (G)I-DLE as well.

3. Player Interaction Experience

In addition to the events, we can also sell limited-edition music festival merchandise on The Sandbox's Marketplace.

This creates a combination of online and offline experiences, where players can purchase NFTs online and also receive tickets to attend physical music festivals and concerts.

For this year's The Sandbox Love & Music Festival, several items were launched for players to purchase, enhancing their interactive experience within the game!
