The Secondfest music festival is bringing together big-name groups like the Pet Shop Boys with musicians like Slim Warrior who have never played a gig outside of the online world of Second Life
By Aleks Krotoski
This weekend's Secondfest music festival in the online world Second Life may seem counterintuitive for those who've just scraped off the last scraps of mud from Glastonbury. After all, sitting at the computer listening to tunes can't begin to replace the sights, sounds and, frankly, smells of three days in the real-life muck surrounded by hundreds of thousands of scantily clad festival fairies, neon nu-ravers and crusty rainbow elders. But the event, presented by The Guardian and Intel and programmed by the same people who are in charge of the musical fare for Glastonbury, V and other heavy hitters in the summer scene, are keen to introduce the world to the hard-working, home-grown talents who spend their virtual lives performing inside this online space.

The virtual world of Second Life is often compared to the annual Burning Man festival in that both are a place where fantasy becomes reality and almost anything goes. But SL resembles another, more mid-90s slice of festival culture as well, at times, and never more so than this weekend, when it takes on the guise of a field in Hampshire (extra credit for catching that reference) with the three-day SecondFest that’s about to kick off, sponsored by the Guardian newspaper and Intel, and organized by Rivers Run Red with promotional help from the ever-brilliant Aleks Krotoski, who writes for the Guardian. The festival gets underway tonight with DJ sets from people like the Glimmer Twins and Tom Findlay, according to the schedule, and wends its wooly way through to a Sunday-evening set from none other than the Pet Shop Boys. Taking place over no less than nine sims (»start here«, and see map after the jump), and with multiple stages, screens and, of course, tents, and too many acts for me to bother to count, it sounds like SecondFest could actually be some kind of landmark entertainment event in Second Life — if no more than 500 people want to get in at the same time. Sounds like fun in any case. Check it out. Easier to park, and just as much chance for muddy casual sex — if you like your muddy casual sex virtual, that is.
