The way audiences experience music is about to change again, as spatial audio moves away from niche audiophile territory to mainstream platforms. Extended reality is creating concert experiences that do not require physical presence and immersive venues are redesigning what it means to be in a room with music.

This panel will bring together the people who are building these new experiences. An XR artist will explain what it is like to create formats where audiences can look in any direction. A spatial audio engineer will explain how spatial audio impacts the listening experience. A platform product lead will share knowledge around adoption patterns and user behaviour. And finally an immersive venue operator will describe the economics and logistics of running a space designed for next-generation experiences.

This conversation will remain grounded in what is presently tangible, while giving the audience a clear picture of what is to come.
