Azerion celebrates the end of the year this December with Habbo's first in-game concert
Collaboration with We Rave You magazine brings three renowned DJs to both Habbo and Hotel Hideaway
Helsinki, Finland, 9 December 2022 -- Today, Azerion has announced that the first digital concert in their online social community game Habbo will be hosted on Friday 16th December 2022, in collaboration with the leading electronic dance music magazine We Rave You. Taking advantage of brand new technology implemented in Habbo in Q4 of this year, the concert will take place in both Habbo and Azerion's younger game Hotel Hideaway, featuring three prolific DJs including Mark Sixma, Mariana Bo and Mr Black.
"This year has been both dynamic and exhilarating for everyone in the Habbo family, and what better way to celebrate the year than the first ever digital concert in Habbo with our friends and fans," said Jurriaan van Teunenbroek, Vice President of Games and Content at Azerion. "Collaborating with We Rave You allows us to truly share this experience across the world and welcome new fans of EDM and these DJs to the Habbo community. We cannot wait for the shows and send a huge thanks to the performers for what will be a milestone in Habbo's history!"
This jam-packed concert is the first held in Habbo, which has a history of hosting Q&A sessions and other in-game events with celebrated musicians including Ozzy Osbourne, Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus. Featuring three internationally renowned artists, the We Rave You virtual festival will tour with the gigs available to watch in Hotel Hideaway on December 15th, and in Habbo on December 16th. To set the stage, new concert rooms have been created and decked out in both games, with a summery festival area with banners from each artist. The three DJs will each perform a 20-minute set, and a behind-the-scenes video will be launched soon after with exclusive insights into the craft of making a bespoke performance in the famous digital hotels.
