A successful start for MagentaMusik 360: More than 600,000 viewers watched Rock am Ring with Deutsche Telekom's new music and entertainment service. About 50,000 music fans use the MagentaMusik 360 app. The telecommunications company presented a total of 33 concerts from the legendary festival in HD live stream, the majority in 360° format. Upcoming highlights from MagentaMusik 360 include the Gorillaz Showcase 'Telekom Electronic Beats presents 'Humanz' live' on June 20, 2017, in Cologne, which will be available as a live stream in 360°. MagentaEINS customers will also have an exclusive advance purchase option for priority tickets for the upcoming German concerts by Rag'n'Bone Man (from June 19) and Queens of the Stone Age (from June 20). This service is possible thanks to Deutsche Telekom's partnership with Live Nation.

'With MagentaMusik 360, our aim is to provide our customers with a virtual reality experience of top music events in the future,' explained Michael Schuld, Head of Communication and Sales Marketing at Telekom Deutschland. 'With our new music and entertainment service, we can again offer our customers real added value: the feeling of seeing an act live both when they're actually there, and when they are on the go or at home.'

Experience Gorillaz live and in virtual reality

This will be an extraordinary music experience, and fans can be a part of it. Three 360° cameras and eight regular cameras will broadcast the Gorillaz showcase on June 20 at 9.30 p.m. in Cologne. Viewers on the MagentaMusik 360 website and using the MagentaMusik 360 app for iOS, Android and Oculus will be able to move the image in a number of directions and to watch the band and the concert space from a variety of perspectives. It will also be possible to see Gorillaz on EntertainTV at channel 131.
