"Our livestream pay-per-view and podcast/vodcast offering combines the best of LiveXLive and PodcastOne for artists and superfans to connect through audio and video content," said Dermot McCormack, president of LiveXLive. "The platform provides artists the ability to create, produce, distribute, market and monetize with one company and one team."
On October 17th, LiveXLive will showcase Pitbull's second unique PPV concert. A new VIP limited Timeless Bundle will be revealed this week, featuring a ticket to the October 17th concert and his brand new Timeless sunglasses available on LiveXLive.com for $45.00.
Pitbull's first concert on October 10th was sponsored by Pepsi for its "Unmute Your Voice" campaign. Pitbull 'unmuted' his voice during multiple 'segments' in the performance and encouraged music fans to unmute their voices by registering to vote. Pepsi also shared a post-show sizzle highlighting the show reminding everyone to register to vote. Pepsi is also on board as a brand partner for the launch of Pitbull's new vodcast (podcast and vodcast) "From Negative to Positive", along with StateFarm, which debuted on October 8, 2020 on LiveXLive subsidiary PodcastOne.

LiveXLive's PPV platform allows artists to go direct-to-consumer and perform full-length concerts and shows with unique behind the scenes footage, docu-reality-style coverage coupled with premium tiered pricing with tickets that include VIP experiences, exclusive merchandise, digital meet-and-greets, and other event-exclusive perks.
