Anamanaguchi, American Football, HANA and More to Perform at Minecraft-Based Music Festival Nether Meant

Open Pit, a company that specializes in throwing virtual events, is putting together a virtual music festival that will take place on Saturday, April 11th, within the game of Minecraft, according to Pitchfork. The bands headlining the festival include NYC based electro-pop band Anamanaguchi, Illinois based indie rock band American Football, Los Angeles based singer/songwriter and musician HANA, as well as others.

The festival, which will be called Nether Meant, is set to take place in a fictional venue called Elsewither, based on the real venue called Elsewhere in Brooklyn. Open Pit worked directly with Elsewhere to create Elsewither to depict Elsewhere as accurately as possible.

Users can find directions on how to join the festival on the official website for the festival here. Users will enter multiplayer mode and enter “PLAY.ELSEWITHER.CLUB” into the ass server option. The server containing the concert will be set up on the day of the concert, which will begin at 6pm eastern.

Those who do not own or wish to buy Minecraft can tune on via Twitch. VIP passes are also available for purchase, which will give access to “special VIP areas in-game,” as well as in-game merchandise. Proceeds from the VIP passes will go to Good360’s COVID–19 relief efforts.

For those planning on viewing the concert via Twitch, the Open Pit Twitch channel can be found below:

Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
