SINGAPORE — 28 August 2024 — TOKEN2049, the world’s largest Web3 conference, announced a collaboration with spatial sound pioneers Polygon Productions for AFTER 2049, the official closing event of this year’s highly anticipated Singapore edition. Set to redefine live music experiences with spatial audio technology, Polygon Productions will combine binaural sound and synchronised lighting to curate an immersive sensory journey for its Singapore debut.
AFTER 2049 will be held on Friday, 20th September at Marina Bay Sands’ SkyPark Observation Deck, and will extend to CÉ LA VI restaurant and Club Lounge, offering exhilarating views of the Formula 1 evening session from the 57th floor.
The event will immerse guests – a dynamic mix of Singapore’s tastemakers and global innovators from across the technology, cultural, and music scenes – into a multisensory audio-visual experience. Amplified by Polygon Production’s 360° sound system, award-winning trio WhoMadeWho will be headlining the event with their debut in Singapore, alongside South African DJ and producer Da Capo and returning acts, ANONM, Leon, Milam and Mo-Shi. Making its debut in Asia outside of Wonderfruit Festival, Polygon Production’s audio technology features speaker stacks in a circle powered by L-Acoustics L-ISA technology, which moves the music above, around and through the audience. This technology has already been adopted by the likes of deadmau5 and Katy Perry, and Polygon Productions is using it to change the face of live music — with AFTER 2049 as its stage. It’s set to be a unique and thrilling experience that will redefine what’s possible in live events.
Nico Elliott, CEO of Polygon Productions said: “We’re delighted to be bringing our immersive spatial audio system to AFTER 2049. Polygon Productions and TOKEN2049 share a passion for tech, innovation, and pushing the boundaries beyond what was ever thought possible. We just do it with sound. Together with WhoMadeWho and Da Capo, this will be an evening for the books.”
Raphael Strauch, Founder of TOKEN2049 added, “With Polygon Productions on board, AFTER 2049 is not just a party — it's a glimpse into the future of live entertainment. We're thrilled to offer our guests this unprecedented audio-visual spectacle, set against the astonishing vistas of Singapore’s skyline as the F1 practice rounds are underway.”
