Artist News: Journey Scheduled To Open Virtual World In Second Life

Posted on Sunday, January 27 @ 05:47:53 UTC by nightowl

On February 1, multi-platinum rockers Journey will release their new Virtual Island in Second Life. A grand opening party is planned inside Second Life at the "Journey Rock Band" sim and will feature a meet and greet with band members. Live DJs will be spinning many of Journey's classic hits, recorded studio and live performances, as well as lots of other great music for fans to party to! The grand opening party is scheduled to start at 10:00am ET/PT. The Journey Island region in Second Life is named "Journey Rock Band." Learn more at http://www.secondlife.com.

Journey has long been known for innovations in stage sets, so creating a Second Life Island for fans to enjoy was an easy decision. The Island features dedicated areas for each album along with audio and video presentations. There are also two venues on the island, the Escape Club and the Captured Amphitheater, where live SL events can be held.

Journey's newly redesigned website, www.journeymusic.com, will be re-launch on or around January 29. It will feature band history, tour information, photos and a new forum.



Journey is currently working on a new album with legendary producer Kevin Shirley, which they hope to release by spring/summer 2008. Their 2008 world tour begins in Santiago, Chile mid-February. More tour dates will be announced soon.

The Journey Island was built by Industrial-Design.com, Journey's long time web developer and features work by SL builders Farrokh Vavoom, Argus Collingwood, Adrian Harbinger and Jocelyn Sands.
