# vport

> vport is a live electronic music streaming platform that brings concerts, DJ sets, and festival performances to fans through immersive VR, 360°, and on-demand video. The portal at portal.thevport.com lets users discover artists, venues, promoters, and events, then watch live or VOD recordings of past shows.

vport's mission is to dissolve the distance between artists and audiences. Creators capture live performances at the highest fidelity; fans relive them with the energy of being in the front row, from anywhere. The platform supports free and paid tiers, content creator onboarding, and immersive playback on standard browsers as well as VR/AR headsets.

Key concepts:

- **Event**: a live or recorded electronic music show, identified by UUID. Status is `LIVE`, `UPCOMING`, or `VOD`.
- **Event instance**: a single playable recording or stream tied to an event.
- **Artist**: a DJ or performing act with profile, genres, and linked socials (Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X).
- **Venue**: a physical location where events were captured, with address, capacity, founding year, and genres.
- **Promoter**: an organization or music brand that runs events.
- **Pricing tier**: free or paid access level for an event instance.
