Getting Paid to Teleport Fans: How Artists and Creators Earn on VPORT

· 7 min read
CEO

The live music industry has a capacity problem it does not like to talk about. Pollstar has reported for years that physical capacity is the binding constraint on the majority of headlining tours. A room holds what it holds. When a set sells out, every fan past the last ticket is simply told no, and the artist earns nothing more from a night that could have reached ten times the crowd. The electronic music economy alone is worth around $12.9 billion and still growing, and almost all of it is capped by the size of a room.

That cap is the opportunity. If a captured set can be teleported to anyone with a Vision Pro, the ceiling on a single night moves from the fire-code number to the size of the internet. The question every serious creator asks next is the honest one: how do I actually get paid for that? This is the breakdown.

From Browse to Front Row: How to Find Your First Immersive Show on VPORT

· 8 min read
CEO

It is 11pm. You want to hear something loud. Not a playlist, not a phone-speaker clip of a set someone filmed from the back of a festival crowd. You want to stand in a room while the low end moves the air and a build resolves into a drop you can feel in your ribs. You have a Vision Pro on the shelf and $4.99 in your pocket. The only question left is the one this guide answers: what do you actually play?

Finding your first show used to be the awkward part. You knew the feeling VPORT delivers once you are inside a set. Getting to the right set, out of a growing catalog, was the friction. That friction is gone. On-site search and a browse-by artist, venue, and event grid are now live, so you can go from opening the app to standing in the front row in about the time it takes to make a coffee.

What Shipped on VPORT: A Faster, Fully-Mapped, More Secure Site

CEO

We do not usually write about plumbing. The magic of VPORT is what happens after you press play: the low end moving the air, the lights above you, a build resolving into a drop you feel in your ribs. Nobody buys a headset to admire a fast server response time.

But the last few weeks of work were the kind that you feel without ever seeing. The whole point of it was to shorten the distance between wanting a set and standing in the front row of one. So here is a plain-language changelog of what shipped, and why each piece makes finding your next night out a little easier.

Summer Without a Wristband: Experiencing 2026's Festival Season in 360

· 6 min read
CEO

It is July, which means somewhere in a field outside Boom, Belgium, the wristbands are already gone. They sold out in an hour. The flights sold out slower, but they sold out too. And for every person standing in front of a mainstage this summer, there are thousands more at home, refreshing a livestream, watching a festival happen to other people through a flat rectangle on a laptop.

That gap, between the field and the couch, is the story of every summer. The biggest electronic festivals on the planet run June through September. Most fans will never stand in front of those stages. Not because they do not want to, but because a ticket, a flight, and a hotel add up to a month of rent. This is the summer the rest of us stopped settling for shaky phone clips filmed from the parking lot.

We built VPORT because there had to be a better answer than the livestream. Spatial video on Apple Vision Pro is closing the distance between the flat replay and the lived moment. Not all the way. Not yet. But far enough that the question stops being "should I watch from home" and becomes "how should I watch from home." That is a better question, and it finally has real answers.

The VPORT Artist Portal Is Live: Upload Your Set, Reach the Front Row

· 6 min read
CEO

It is 2am in Berlin. A melodic techno headliner is 90 minutes deep at a Kreuzberg club, the kind of room where the low end lives in your chest and nobody has glanced at a phone since midnight. That set deserves a home online that sounds as good as the room felt. As of today, it has one.

The VPORT Artist Portal is live. Any electronic artist can now claim a free page, put their sets on it, and keep their tour dates in one place. We built it for the producers and DJs whose music was never meant to live inside a 30-second clip. And it is the front door to something larger: artist portal VR concerts, where fans teleport to the front row instead of squinting at a vertical video.

Stay in the Show: Vision Pro Comfort Settings for Long DJ Sets

· 6 min read
CEO

The best sets are the long ones. A melodic techno headliner does not really get going until the second hour, past the point where the festival crowd thins out and the people who stayed get the payoff. The closing set at a Berlin warehouse, the sunrise hour in Ibiza, the 2am stretch at The Warehouse Project. That is when the room turns into something you remember.

On Apple Vision Pro you can teleport straight into that room and stay for all of it. No travel, no line, no last train home. The only thing between you and minute 110 is comfort. Get the fit and the settings right and the headset disappears. Get them wrong and you are thinking about the strap instead of the breakdown. Here is how we set up Vision Pro for a full-length set.

How Artists Actually Get Paid on VPORT: Inside Creator Studio's Per-Minute Economy

· 6 min read
CEO

A melodic techno headliner closes a room on the Berlin canal at 6am. The low end is doing that thing where you feel it in your sternum before you hear it. The room holds maybe 600 people, and every one of them paid at the door. On a normal night that set earns once, capped by the size of the floor, and then it is gone. A few phone clips survive. The money stops the second the house lights come up.

That ceiling is the problem we built VPORT to remove. When a fan teleports into that same set on VPORT, the set keeps earning. Not once. Every minute, from anyone, anywhere, for as long as the recording lives. The question artists ask first is never about the cameras or the codecs. It is the money question: how do musicians actually make money in VR? Here is the honest answer.

Your Artist Page Goes Live July 1: What VPORT's Free Portal Means for Independent Electronic Artists

· 9 min read
CEO

If you are a DJ or a producer in 2026, your link in bio is probably a Linktree page that has not been touched since 2022. A purple gradient. A SoundCloud link that opens in a webview. A Spotify link that opens in a different webview. A booking email that someone copies into their Mail app, types one sentence, then forgets to send. The page works. It also looks like the page worked five years ago, because it did.

We built VPORT for artists who deserve better than that. On July 1, 2026, the VPORT Artist Portal goes live to the public. It is free. It has no ads. It does not upsell you to a Pro tier to remove a watermark from your own URL. We are building it because the link in bio is the most under-served piece of an artist's marketing stack, and because we want to be the company that gets it right.

Tomorrowland 2026 Is 90 Days Away: Experience It Without Flying to Belgium

Tickets sold out in under an hour. The waitlist is deeper than the lineup. If you are reading this, you either did not get tickets to Tomorrowland 2026, or you did and you are already planning how to be in two places at once. Both are valid. Both have the same question: how do you experience the biggest electronic music festival on the planet when you cannot physically stand on every stage at the same time?

The answer used to be the livestream. A flat rectangle. A fixed camera angle chosen by someone who is not you. A YouTube chat scrolling faster than you can read. It was better than nothing. It was not remotely close to being there.

The answer is changing. Spatial video on Apple Vision Pro is closing the gap between the flat replay and the lived experience. Not all the way. Not yet. But enough that the question is no longer "should I watch from home" but "how should I watch from home." That is a different question. A better one. One with real answers.

The Concert You Watch Together: What Social Co-Watch Will Feel Like on Apple Vision Pro

· 13 min read
CEO

You are standing inside the Sahara Tent. The bass is in your ribs. The visuals are wrapping around you in every direction. The set is building toward the moment you have been waiting for — the transition you watched three times already, the one where the melodic line breaks open and the room ignites.

The drop hits. You yell. Nobody hears you.

That is the loneliness problem. And it is the single biggest objection people have about immersive music on Apple Vision Pro. Not the resolution. Not the field of view. Not the weight of the headset or the price of admission. The fact that you are alone in the room. Every room. Every show. Every time.
