“It is an honor to be partnered with an incredible company like Unity on this new journey,” says Pasquale Rotella, Founder, and CEO, Insomniac Events. “Our vision is to create a social experience in which everyone is a Headliner – where stories and music unique us in discovery, love, and a true sense of belonging.”
“Unity is helping us to create a world’s first experience for our community as we work together to deliver the next level of what the metaverse can be for entertainment and music,” continues Insomniac Events Founder Pasquale Rotella.
