Chase & Status and Skream lead the names that have been announced for the Tobacco Dock Virtual opening weekend.
The project will see the London venue being recreated as a virtual space by electronic music promoters LWE and leading virtual live events platform Sansar.
The opening weekend will take place over Easter weekend (April 2-3) and will see 50 artists playing across four arenas in the virtual venue.
As well as Chase & Status and Skream, the likes of Adam Beyer, Wilkinson, Hot Since 82, Eats Everything, Nastia, Camo & Krooked, Sherelle and more have also been confirmed today (February 16).
The event will be available to watch on mobile, Mac, tablet, PC or VR through the Sansar app or on any browser, while Beatport will also broadcast sets on Facebook, YouTube, Twitch and beatport.com.
According to a press release, viewers will be able to “meet and catch up with friends, throw shapes on the dancefloor and explore the cavernous venue together”. Fans will also be able to take part in a variety of games, quests and challenges, as well as customise their own avatars.

The Tobacco Dock Virtual project comes as clubs and venues remain closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The government reportedly has a three-step plan to move out of the current lockdown, with schools reopening to be followed by non-essential shops and, later, hospitality businesses. There is currently no clear date when live events will be able to return.
