Animal Concerts: The Next Generation of Entertainment Experience

January 17, 2022

Revenues for artists’ have been declining exponentially as album sales continue to plummet, touring capacity is limited, and streaming has increased. Fans are deprived from more personal interactions with artists and are in need of a solution. Since last year, many events have moved online. This phenomenon has become an imperative part of our lives and continues to expand with colossal potential.

What is Animal Concerts?

We are revolutionizing the music industry for fans and artists worldwide: delivering unique, physical concerts with A-list artists, collaborating on NFT drops, live streaming in the Metaverse, and tokenizing that entire experience!

Animal Concerts plans to transform the music industry and solve the timely issue that disengages artists and fans. Some of the ways it will do this are the following:

• Enhance the Metaverse experience and live concerts
• Rare NFT drops featuring artists which include album art, tangible items, NFT tickets, and NFT experiences (meet and greet)
• NFT ticketing systems means on-chain ticket and NFT revenues easily and transparently make their way back to users Sponsorships & Partnerships
• Marketing, Data & Advertising opportunities
• Introduction of the next 100 million users to the cryptocurrency space

The Animal token will be the Digital Currency for the ecosystem. Users can purchase concert tickets, wearables, NFTs and other products directly from the app. Some more additional uses are the are following:

• Medium of exchange within the ecosystem
• Watch 2 Earn — users earn rewards for active participation in our metaverse events
• Governance of the NFT marketplace and on-chain treasury which is directly linked to digital merchandise sales
• Artist/Fan interaction through voting and participating in concert activities
• Stake to earn status, tickets, perks and entries into limited edition giveaway

Reshaping the industry

Animal is expected to reshape the entertainment industry. In doing so, we see revenues being generated through a combination of strategic initiatives: First, to bring online streaming concerts to the next level. Next, to book top tier artists for concerts and have them promote our brand and platform. Lastly, have multiple potential verticals including Art, Music, Video Games & NFT’s.

Animal Concerts will have agreements and confirmed bookings with the world’s top 50 bands and artists, and will work with the best agents and organizers to hold many spectacular events in the first year.

Maximizing the token utility

• Smaller stadiums and venues will be charged a per event fee to receive the event or concert stream. Venues can earn back tokens if their sell out is in record time.
• Centralized and decentralized streaming services will pay to be a recognized supplier, they can also be rewarded with tokens in line with the quality of their streaming service when they join the platform network and protocol — it’s a win for all!
• Promoters, distributors, and sales agents earn tokens for faster than agreed sales of tickets vs their contract — this encourages a healthy amount of competition with transparent and fair terms.
• Advertisers, brands, and partners can purchase the Animal Token in order to advertise on the platform.
• Exclusive brand launches with digital partners with unique digital content to be featured in games and online worlds.
• NFTs as a service: to bands, publishers, record labels, and media organizations from inception to launch.
• Animal Concerts assist a number of non crypto native businesses become crypto native
• Complimentary additional marketplaces add to distribution and sales to sell content, digital merchandising and NFTs, offering discounts and rewards with tokens.

Animal is developing relationships with world-leading agencies and their artists to create additional merchandising opportunities through combining the traditional concert model with blockchain technology. This model involves acquiring the rights to sell merchandise via concert deals. Merchandise has the potential to build strong loyal followings that similar companies can sell novelty items such as “limited edition bricks.” A high volume of concerts will provide the platform to expand a mass of opportunities for merchandising products for both fans and artists via the blockchain.
