The Martinez Brothers were over the moon to be booked by Lost Horizon: "We loved the creative direction of Lost Horizon with the VR angle, plus the tie-in to Glastonbury was a no brainer for us. We’re also happy to showcase some of our favourite DJs here, too, on the line-up with Jaden Thompson and Christian AB and Quest. The technology of today is beyond what we could ever have imagined even a few years ago. We now see this as being another way of connecting with our fans. Even when touring comes back we want to continue doing innovative streaming experiences like Lost Horizon."
