About the Australian Open Closing Party
Tomorrow, January 30th at 3:00 PM PST/ 6: PM EST, will be the closing party for the Australian Open. As a special guest, Masked Wolf, an Australian rapper and DJ, Tigerlily, will be performing at the event.
Virtual Melbourne Park is available in the AO Metaverse. It has been in operation for the duration of the AO, from 17th January to 31st January. It’s being used to close the Australian open in real-life and the metaverse events.
The events have offered worldwide tennis fans access to metaverse events revolving about the AO, and have also included gaming parts.
The AO Metaverse attracted more than 5,000 people each day in Decentraland up to now. So the Australian Open Closing Party will be big.
This campaign was also created by the same team that helped organize DeadMau5 inDecentraland last October.
If they provide their wallet address, attendees will receive a free item.
Ridley Plummer, Tennis Australia’s NFT & Metaverse project Manager, spoke about the event. He said: “As a festival, sport and entertainment, it’s exciting to celebrate the end of the contest in Decentraland.” While the AO is over, this is only the beginning of our metaverse journey. We are fortunate to have the amazing local artists from Australia play for us.
