A deal between Snapchat and Live Nation will see augmented reality experiences at future music festivals and concerts.

People attending particular Live Nation events will be able to use Snapchat to unlock these AR creations with special lenses.

According to Snapchat, the use of AR will “elevate festivals and concerts beyond stages and screens to create a deeper connection between artists and fans.”
