Festival Preview: Boiler Room 2021
Three cities. No headliners. Streamed around the world to millions of fans. Is this the future of festivals? We don’t know but we’re very curious to find out. Boiler Room has become its own musical movement over the course of the last few years. Merging technology and good old-fashioned dancing, Boiler room is taking the world (literally the world - the party has happening in New York, Barcelona, and London) by storm.
Boiler Room started with a webcam taped to a wall back in 2010, opening a keyhole into London’s clandestine scene of artists and performers. Boiler Room really existed for those looking to connect with fans in a world dominated by top 100’s, Capital FM, and televised singing competitions (*ahem* X-Factor *ahem*). Since then, Boiler Room have built an unprecedented archive spanning over eight thousand performances by more than five thousand artists across two hundred cities. Their influence has developed over time, but it has always remained true to its defining principle – support emerging artists.
