Apple Music Club is set to start broadcasting from festivals and other live events, the company announced today (May 13). Its new offering, Club Live, will host its first stream from EDC Las Vegas, the dance music mega-festival that begins this Friday (May 15) at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Additional global festivals, events, club nights and Apple Music studio performances to be streamed by Club Live are yet to be announced, with a statement about the launch outlining a focus on streaming “some of the world’s most culturally important dance floors in real time.”
Starting May 15, Club Live will livestream from EDC Las Vegas from 7 p.m. to 5:30 a.m., in tandem with the hours of the festival itself. Then, from 5:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. PT on Saturday, Club Live will rebroadcast sets from the previous day’s performances. Select sets will also be available for on-demand playback in spatial audio following the livestream.
This format will repeat over all three days of the festival, with the Friday Club Live from EDC schedule including Roddy Lima, Sofi Tukker, Wooli and Porter Robinson. The Saturday schedule includes artists such as Frost Children, Sub Focus, Omnom, Kaskade, Boys Noize and Mary Droppinz; while the Sunday schedule features Layton Giordani, Beltran, Armin van Buuren, Alison Wonderland and more. All of Club Live’s content will be simulcast on Insomniac Radio, which broadcasts live from the festival annually.
Live broadcasts will be available to stream for free via Apple Music Club, with an Apple Music subscription required to stream audio-on-demand content following each broadcast.
“Club Live is an extension of what we’re building at Apple Music, a true home for artists and our global community,” Apple Music’s global head of dance, electronic music & DJ mixes, Stephen Campbell, said in a statement. “Teaming up with iconic festivals like EDC allows us to connect fans with the energy and culture of dance music at its source. With Club Live and Apple Music as the definitive destination for all EDC DJ sets, we’re opening up these defining cultural moments by bringing world-class performances and the energy of the dance floor to audiences everywhere.”
