2025 was the year of the long set. The two-hour headline slot. The sunrise marathon. The three-hour back-to-back that nobody on the livestream wanted to end. Across desert main stages and crumbling Mediterranean amphitheaters and fog-choked Berlin basements, electronic music stretched out, breathed deeper, and reminded everyone why people still fly halfway around the world just to stand in a field.

But standing in that field was the problem. You could only be in one place. One timezone. One crowd. The rest lived on your phone as a cropped, compressed, vertically-filmed souvenir that captured maybe five percent of what it actually felt like.

We spent the year watching differently. We spent it thinking about which of these sets — these specific nights — would be transformed most completely by professional spatial video. Not just documented. Transformed. The kind of 360° capture where you turn your head and suddenly the whole room makes sense: the lights, the bodies, the geometry of sound bouncing off walls. The kind of presence we have been building toward since we launched VPORT on VisionOS.

This is our list. Ten sets. Ten arguments for why the best music of 2025 deserves a second life in immersive video.

You want to watch a concert in a headset. You have two real options in 2026: Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest 3. Both will play video. Both will put sound in your ears. Both will make you look a little ridiculous to anyone walking past your couch.

But they are not the same experience. Not even close.

This is not a spec-sheet race. It is a guide for someone who actually cares about music and wants to know which headset will make a Friday night set feel like more than a glorified YouTube video. We will cover displays, audio, content, comfort, price, and the stuff that is coming next. No spin. If Quest wins a category, we will say so.

The first sixty seconds inside a VPORT show will ruin flat video for you forever. That is not hyperbole. It is a warning. You put on Apple Vision Pro, you open the app, you tap a show — and then you are standing inside the room. The bass is in your chest. The lights are above you. And there is no screen. There is just... the venue.

A New Era of Music Experiences​

Music has always been about connection — that pulse of energy when the beat drops and the crowd moves as one.

But what if that connection could exist beyond physical space?
What if you could teleport to a festival in Ibiza or an underground club in Tokyo, all from your living room?

That question led us to build VPORT.
