SINGAPORE, Sept. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fellaz, a multichain Web3 entertainment ecosystem, has entered into a partnership with UC Global, a Seoul-based Asia-focused lifestyle and entertainment company, which has brought global events like Ultra Music Festival and Wanderlust to over 12 countries and territories in Asia.
Ultra Music Festival is the world’s largest international music festival brand with events in over 25 countries around the world. The annual outdoor electronic music festival takes place in Miami, FL and was founded in 1999. Ultra Music Festival’s global arm, Ultra Worldwide, produces events in all 6 inhabited continents; North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. Over 1 million fans from around the world, attend Ultra Music Festival events each year.
As pandemic conditions are improving around the world, Ultra is welcoming back its flagship event in Korea for the first time since 2019. The ninth edition of Ultra Korea will see the return of its unparalleled stage designs, state-of-the-art production and the world’s top electronic music artists including Marshmello, Martin Garrix, Nicole Moudaber, Adam Beyer, KSHMR, Nicky Romero, Oliver Heldens, Sasha, Timmy Trumpet and many more yet to be revealed to dazzle the masses gathering at the Seoul Olympic Stadium Complex this September 24th and 25th.
Fellaz will be working with UC Global as its Web3 partner, providing expertise and technical support in building the necessary infrastructure throughout the process of Ultra Korea’s expansion into the digital arena. Fellaz also plans to showcase a real-time social networking service dedicated for the users on-site during the festival through its proprietary app through which its much-awaited NFT ticketing solution will be deployed in October.
As a growing entertainment ecosystem that specializes in the production and distribution of K-pop and J-pop IP and derivative content including metaverse-native content, Fellaz also plans to host local music festivals and global IRL events with top-tier artists, complementing the experience with its Web3-integrated community infrastructure where fans are incentivized to gather and engage in their fandom activities. Its partnership with UC Global will present a valuable opportunity to ignite brand awareness of Fellaz which will lead to its upcoming concert plans for EDM fans in the Pan-Asian region. Recently, Fellaz partnered with Rakuten Sports, entering the sports arena starting with the World University Basketball Series that was held last month in Tokyo as its official sponsor, to further the geographic reach and scope of business in professional sports as a part of its grander vision toward the entertainment industry.
