Talking about his upcoming set, DJ Sneak said it'd be a "no-holds-barred" and "bangin' ass set". If you're wondering what to expect, HITO told Lost Horizon her set can be summed in three words: "Love, happiness and positive!"

Having already played in Lost Horizon's winter season last year, HITO added: "I really enjoyed the visuals and avatars who still enjoy the dancefloor. Really fun to see!"

Those with VR headsets can get the full party experience on premiere virtual events platform Sansar. Here, you can also get involved via your PC, mobile and browser.

Kaye Dunnings, Lost Horizon and Shangri-La's Creative Director, said: "When the pandemic made human contact impossible, we built Lost Horizon to create a way for the show to go on. It is a place to talk, dance and meet with friends from anywhere in the world without leaving your living room.

"Our Spring Season of virtual and live streamed events opens the doors of the musical metaverse to everyone, in a creative, interactive and accessible way."

Director Robin Collings said: “We all just want a banging rave and, since the virus has the clubs shut, and the soundsystems in hiding, we thought we’d use the new tech available to get on the dancefloor again. Still need that sub tho!”

Lost Horizon came to fruition in July last year with artists such as Peggy Gou, Carl Cox, Jamie Jones, Jaguar and Seth Troxler all playing the VR event. With no IRL festivals, Lost Horizon drew in a whopping audience of 4.36 million with that event.
