“Music festivals are among the most electric, can’t-miss moments in culture, and now Disney+ and Hulu subscribers around the world can experience the excitement.”
The addition of these livestreamed festivals strengthens Disney+ and Hulu’s growing portfolio of live programming, which already includes sports, news, and major cultural events. The strategy aims to make both platforms daily destinations for audiences seeking premium live entertainment.
Growing Demand for Global Music Experiences
According to the 2025 Live Nation Living for Live Global Study, music fans are becoming increasingly connected across borders:
