Music VR Backers Fund to support Victoria’s live music scene

Want to be part of Australia’s first virtual reality (VR) live streamed gigs?  Music Victoria and the VMDO is partnering with 3D live VR streaming platform, Inverse, to support Victoria’s next crop of emerging musicians through a new Music VR Backers Fund.

The Covid-19 physical number restrictions at venues have been devastating to Victoria’s live music scene, especially in Melbourne. The Music VR Backers Fund will enable selected artists to virtually connect with their fans and open-up a new VR revenue stream.

Open for applications mid-January 2021, each entrant will be judged by a panel of leading luminaries in the Victorian music industry and selected artists will be paid to create a bespoke performance for a live, yet virtual audience, attending through Inverse’s VR and 2D streaming platform.

Performances will be live streamed from Australia’s first Made for VR venue, right in inner-city Melbourne, along with other VR broadcast venue partners to be announced soon.
