TOKEN2049 crypto conference partners with Polygon Productions for closing event AFTER 2049

The organisers of the world’s largest crypto conference TOKEN2049 have announced a collaboration with spatial sound pioneer Polygon Productions to stage AFTER 2049, the official closing event of this year’s Singapore edition.

AFTER 2049 is set to redefine the live music experience, with Polygon combining binaural sound and synchronised lighting to curate an immersive multi-sensory audio-visual journey for attendees.

The event will be held on 20 September on the SkyPark Observation Deck of the iconic Marina Bay Sands resort and will extend to CÉ LA VI restaurant and club lounge, offering views of the Formula 1 Grand Prix practice rounds from the resort’s 57th floor.

Dynamic line-up

AFTER 2049 will feature a dynamic line-up of Singapore’s tastemakers and global innovators from across the technology, cultural and music scenes amplified by Polygon’s 360° sound system and headlined by award-winning trio WhoMadeWho, South African DJ and producer Da Capo and returning acts ANONM, Leon, Milam and Mo-Shi.

Making its debut in Asia outside of Wonderfruit Festival, Polygon Productions’ audio technology features speaker stacks in a circle powered by L-Acoustics L-ISA technology, which moves the music above, around and through the crowd.

The technology is being used to change the face of live music, with AFTER 2049 as its stage.

Unique experience

Polygon chief executive Nico Elliott said the event was set to be a unique experience which will redefine what is possible in live events.

“Polygon Productions and TOKEN2049 share a passion for tech, innovation and pushing the boundaries beyond what was ever thought possible — we just do it with sound,” he said.

TOKEN2049 founder Raphael Strauch said it would be an evening to remember

“With Polygon Productions on board, AFTER 2049 is not just a party — it will be a glimpse into the future of live entertainment,” he said.

“We are thrilled to offer our guests this unprecedented audio-visual spectacle, set against the astonishing vista of Singapore’s skyline as the F1 practice rounds are underway.”

AFTER 2049 sponsors include security-first real-world asset layer-1 blockchain Hibachi; global digital payments company WSPN; decentralised talent incubator platform MEET48; chain abstraction stack NEAR; world-first decentralised payments network Gnosis Pay; and digital payment token service provider MetaComp.
