FORMATIONS is a mixed reality concert that merges live music with cutting-edge technology. This interactive installation and live concert employs artificial intelligence, game engines, and virtual reality to create a new form of collective human experience. Participants, equipped with VR headsets, are immersed in a dynamic virtual environment that reacts in real-time to the live performance, offering a unique blend of concert and interactive digital art.

Developed with Ristband's proprietary technology, FORMATIONS provides a glimpse into the future of music and emerging media. The mixed reality concert demonstrates how technology can be harnessed to create entirely new audience experiences pushing the boundaries of the art form and what is possible at the intersection of live performance and artistic installations.

Ristband has toured mixed reality concerts since 2017, creating a new revenue stream for independent artists, independent venues and new experiences for audiences at major festivals and events worldwide.
