Don Diablo, the globally known Dutch EDM DJ, made headlines in the web3 world with his leading-edge NFT project: the music industry’s first full-length concert NFT. This project, in collaboration with videographer Paul Snijder, has united Don Diablo’s passion for music and art into a new and exciting metaverse format.
“Destination Hexagonia,” the hour-long concert NFT, is a stunning science-fiction-themed live concert experience that takes viewers on a journey through futuristic scenes. The futuristic piece, which includes animated characters and sets, highlights Don Diablo’s signature house music style. It is a complete departure from traditional live performances, offering a new and immersive metaverse experience. The concert NFT took over a year to create.
One of the most fascinating aspects of the one-hour exclusive NFT experience is the NFT’s release method. The Destination Hexagonia NFT, auctioned on the NFT marketplace SuperRare, is a single edition of one. The auction winner also received a hard drive (USB stick) holding the only high-quality file of the hour-long concert film. A Don Diablo styled one-of-a-kind hand-crafted box contained the drive. This ensures that owners have a physical representation of their ownership and serves as a visual reminder of their involvement in this distinctive project.
With stunning visuals, music, and innovative delivery method, the world’s first full-length concert NFT has set a new standard in the digital art world. Selling for an amazing $1.2 million, this NFT represents a milestone in Don Diablo’s successful career. It solidifies his position alongside DJs like Steve Aoki, deadmau5, and 3LAU for adopting web3 technology and NFTs.
