What’s the most annoying thing about the London gig circuit? Is it people taking photos on their phones? Expensive tickets? Overpriced drinks? Nope: according to the people behind this unusual gig series, it’s definitely those big speakers on either side of the stage. Mega-mall Westfield has found a way to solve that problem: put the singer in a soundproof, transparent cube, and give everyone a pair of headphones so they can hear him. It’s basically like a silent disco combined with an aquarium. Genius, right?
You can experience this concept for free this autumn at Westfield London. Acts include Foxes, Stooshe, Rebecca Ferguson and Oritsé from JLS, making this a good opportunity to catch some solid chart acts in an unusual setting. You can also hear the performances through a dedicated iPhone app.
