"With human connection more important than ever, we're looking forward to the moment when we can be together in real life.  Building community experiences that allow for connection given the circumstances is incredibly important to Absolut," said Tad Greenough, Global Head of Creative.  "Creating #DanceAway2020 with our friends at Beatport is an exciting and innovative way to ring in the New Year using music as a way to connect and celebrate" added Georgia McDonnell-Adams, Global Experience andamp; Partnerships Manager.

"This has been a challenging year for everyone," said Ed Hill, Vice President, Media Group at Beatport. "But one silver lining has been how the dance community has rallied around live streams to keep the culture that we all love alive. Coming together with Absolut to host this incredible lineup performing from cities all over the world is the best way to send 2020 packing."

Beatport has been a maverick in creating live stream events for the dance music community. Kicking off in March with a 33-hour marathon that raised nearly $200,000 for DJs who have been sidelined by the pandemic.  Since then Beatport live streams have driven more than 114 million views with more than 500 million impressions.
