A custom virtual worlds and gaming platform designed for cutting-edge experiences, accessible worldwide, exploring new formats of live storytelling and audience interactivity. 

In 2022 Ristband received funding by Epic Games to explore the potential of gaming technology to bring together artforms, hybrid events, and support emerging musicians and talent.

Our first experience launched at SXSW Festival 2023, acting as an extension to our live event in Austin, TX, accessible to audiences worldwide. We won the SXSW Audience Award for our Official Future x Music event which took place IRL as well as in Ristband Online.
