This launch comes in advance of the Company's global LIVE broadcast of all five days of Rock in Rio Lisbon, which begins on May 19 and will feature full performances by Bruce Springsteen, Ariana Grande, Maroon 5, Avicii, Queen + Adam Lambert, Fergie, Hollywood Vampires, among others, in addition to artist interviews and halo content. Rock in Rio is considered the world's greatest music and entertainment event having hosted 16 editions on three continents since its inception. The festival has more than 11 million followers on its social media platforms and is watched live in more than 200 countries worldwide.

"After spending two years developing this platform and building a team of experts across music, mobile and media, we are pleased to release the LiveXLive video network, where fans can view live events around the globe with the touch of a finger," said Rob Ellin, LiveXLive Founder and Chairman. "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.

In advance of the anticipated official launch of LiveXLive's mobile application, the Company will continue to acquire rights to top music festivals, nightlife performances and other live music, along with curated content to pair with LiveXLive's originally produced halo content, furthering the Company's goal of becoming the first independent global live music and lifestyle network. LiveXLive is taking the playbook from ESPN of thirty years ago, acquiring long-term global rights for the best in live music and curating content around these tentpole events. 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. In order to facilitate growth, LiveXLive will create strategic and content-related partnerships, which already include Verizon (VZ), Rock in Rio, Tao, Marquee, The Saban Theatre, OneLive, as well as ownership of KOKO in London.
