Mobile Phone network EE has announced that the UK’s first hybrid, 5G
powered club night, EE x Beatport Presents Parallel, is coming to Liverpool on August 12th.
One of only two exclusive UK events, the hybrid club night is celebration of local DJ talent,
giving electronic dance music fans the chance to enjoy dual DJ performances live; either in
person or over a 5GEE powered livestream.
Live at two iconic Liverpudlians venues on 12th August, the event will shine a spotlight on local
music talent, both established and emerging, for dance music fans to enjoy. The epic night of
dance music will be heightened through the power of EE’s award-winning 5G network which
provides the low latency and superfast speeds needed to seamlessly mix two live sets
together, without missing a beat.
The first Parallel night will be hosted in Liverpool across two separate nightlife venues –
Liberté Rooftop and Matou Roof Terrace – bringing together local Liverpudlian legends, DJs
Yousef and Lauren Lo Sung, with special guest James Organ (Liberté Rooftop) and Melé and
Siân Bennett, with special guest Baxter (Matou Roof Terrace). In a UK first, and an exciting
twist for fans in attendance, each DJ pair will tag-team live via Liverpool’s best 5G network
across the two venues, providing an electric night not to be missed.
For those that can’t get their hands on the limited tickets and don’t want to miss out, EE will
host an immersive music experience at Church Street (12th August) in Liverpool. The performances will be beamed over Liverpool’s best network, live in 4K 360 quality to the custom-built 5GEE VR outdoor pop-up. To spread the love of music across the nation, the oneoff live performance will be available to livestream online for free at https://ee.co.uk/parallel.
Liz Needleman, BT Group Regional Lead North and Midlands, said: “You’ve got to be able to trust in your network for the moments that count. EE x Beatport Parallel will see us put Liverpool’s best network to the test – using our real-life 5G network to seamlessly mix live sets together from two different locations, without missing a beat. The music industry has had such a turbulent 18 months, so we’re excited to be working with talented DJs in Liverpool to bring back the music back to the city, and make some history as the UK’s first hybrid, 5G powered club night.”
Kicking off proceedings in Liverpool on 12th August, Yousef said: “We’ve got such amazing talent in Liverpool, and this one-of-a-kind gig is giving us a whole new way of entertaining fans. I think it’s going to blow people’s minds. I’m always excited to be embracing technology to bring music to even more people and I have no doubts EE’s 5G network will see us through the night without missing a beat. I can’t wait to make a bit of history!”
Ed Hill, VP of Beatport Media Group said: “At Beatport, our mission is to connect electronic music lovers with the world’s best music via the very latest tools in technology. The hybrid 5G powered club night that we are spearheading with EE will be a world first. We are incredibly excited to be able to deliver seamless live sets from two different locations with some of the hottest names in dance, for a back-to-back experience that is set to redefine what is possible in the live events space.”
