Case Study: Hardwell achieves seamless 360° VR worldwide live streaming to 20,000 fans with Leaseweb

Hardwell - Customer Case Study

Leaseweb partnered with DJ Hardwell to deliver the first-ever 360° VR live broadcast of his 2016 Ultra Music Festival set, reaching more than 20,000 fans across 35 countries. The challenge was to provide a seamless, high-bandwidth streaming experience with near-instant server communication and 24/7 technical support to handle real-time VR video and global demand.

Leaseweb combined its CDN, colocation, dedicated servers and network to link 360° video feeds and a broadcast platform into a unified streaming VR experience, relaying 20 TB of data through its data centers and private cloud with round‑the‑clock support. The result was a smooth, high-performance global stream that let fans virtually roam the crowd and stand beside Hardwell, demonstrating unprecedented reach and reliability for live VR music events.
