Have a festival on your own
My favorite online music providers at it again, in 9 days Spotify will be holding their invisible festival. Put simply by using play lists you can have all your friends round and listen to the same tunes others are listening to across the country.
Importantly all the proceeds go towards charity. A lovely example of social media going off line and doing something wonderful.
My only concern is that if i asked my friends to join me for a festival in my flat listening to my computer play music i would have very few takers. My prediction for the outcome of invisible festival is lots of very lonely people listening to the same play lists imagining each other having a better time. Hope i am wrong.

Hi Mark,
Apologies for my oversight in this not being a Spotify run initiative.
Let us know how it goes so hopefully we can blog about the success and loads of money raised for Cancer Research.

Hello there!
Many thanks for the posting about The Invisible Festival/
The first thing to point out is that we do not work for Spotify. We thought up the idea on our own and Spotify have backed us by letting us use their logo and have given us 50 VIP passes for the weekend so people can listen advert free.
As for sitting alone in your hous; we are adding communal food and drinks recipes to the site for you to make and share, and there will be downloadable wristbands to print off and wear. As well as all this we shall hopefully be having some funky graphics to stop everyone sitting around staring at the screen.
The aim is get people together and to have a party and then send us their images afterwards.
And it’s all in aid of Cancer Research UK.
Mark @ Invisible Festival
