[gallery columns="3"]Nightlife options will take a leap forward next year with the announcement that Boiler Room plans to launch the world’s first virtual reality venue. With an audience of millions already tuning in for its streamed events, Boiler Room’s partnership with Inception –- a creator of high-quality, immersive VR content –- looks set to break new boundaries by designing and building music events in virtual reality that will enable even greater immersion for viewers. According to Boiler Room’s founder and CEO, Blaise Belville, the venue is a major evolution that he hopes will “bring people even closer to what it’s like being at a sweaty rave or an amazing concert half-way across the world.” The VR-enabled venue is set to launch in early 2017 — for more information on forthcoming Boiler Room events, visit its website here.
