"In addition to our online network, we will launch our Mobile App in the third quarter of 2016 and revolutionize the way consumers experience live events around the world."

"Ticket sales and sponsorships in the live music industry are growing at staggering rates and LiveXLive is uniquely positioned to capitalize on consumers' en masse shift towards mobile-content consumption as we quickly become the 'ESPN of music,'" added Schuyler Hoversten, Chief Revenue Officer of LiveXLive.

Along with homegrown original programming aimed at millennials, the network will allow hosts and influencers to take viewers behind the scenes of the music world, from backstage, to green-rooms, to red carpets, to going 'on the road' with artists.
