OZY Media, a next-generation media and entertainment company, announced it will be hosting a one-of-a-kind festival of great entertainment, interactive experiences and big conversations.
“We are so excited to be bringing OZY Fest back,” said Samir Rao, CEO and co-founder, OZY. “Virtual events and festivals have been hit and miss over the trying past year, but OZY Fest is going to take things to the next level, with the most interactive virtual experience of all time. OZY Fest won’t disappoint if you’re as tired of Zoom as we are.”
OZY Fest will return on May 15-16. The virtual festival will be streamed live, with two simultaneous virtual stages from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. ET. The show will feature a combination of live music and comedy performance, thought leadership and interactive programming.
VIP tickets are available for purchase allowing access to exclusive interactive virtual offerings. OZY Fest’s partnership with new live social media platform Clubhouse will break new ground, employing the app’s private chat functionality to host VIP meet-and-greets in an intimate audio-only setting.
The theme of OZY Fest 2021 is “Reset America,” with organizers saying that it hopes to host conversations to reimagine how democracy, racial justice and education should work in the 21st century. OZY Media is partnering with the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) to provide free access to all current students at HBCUs. It will also be donating proceeds from VIP ticket sales to UNCF. UNCF CEO, Dr. Michael Lomax, is featured among OZY Fest headliners.
