Trend - As the prospect of holding or attending concerts, festivals and other large gatherings isn't likely in the next several months, music brands are adapting their services and planning virtual festivals. Though not able to offer the same experience as in-person events, these virtual gatherings supplement them until life goes back to business as usual.

Though this can't be completely replicated in digital formats, they're still able to build bonds and points of discussion between like-minded consumers when offered virtually.
