Sponsorships from brands including Chipotle, Mike’s Hard Lemonade and White Claw Hard Seltzer have attributed to the success of the Music Lives ON franchise and led to the 9 week extension.

“Our franchises like “Music Lives” and “Music Lives ON” have been received extremely well by both artists and their fans, which adds significant value to the brands who want to integrate into those franchises,” said Robert Ellin, CEO and Chairman of LiveXLive. “This was our first run at a weekly live streamed festival series programmed and produced entirely in house and we are very pleased with the response.”

Since launching in May 2020, LiveXLive’s “Music Lives ON” franchise festival series has live streamed over 60 artists reaching over 155 million fans on social media and generating over 6 million views. Weekly viewership continues to climb showing a growth in brand awareness and interest in this growing franchise. Brand integrations have included artist partnerships, product placement, sponsor billboards, verbal brand mentions, and thematic integrations in the festival’s content. LiveXLive has also integrated interviews with its flagship music news and commentary series, LiveZone, into the weekly program.

“We’re thinking holistically about our programming initiatives across divisions to market, promote and recirculate content,” added Dermot McCormack, president of LiveXLive. “By doing this, we are driving up the value of our content, extending the life cycle of our programming, and creating more advertising inventory across our platform.”
