BigCityBeats, the company behind WORLD CLUB DOME, has announced a new collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) for 2019, combining the universal, unifying and boundless natures of electronic dance music and space travel. Last year’s mission with the ESA for World Club Dome Zero Gravity, which saw the first-ever club created in weightlessness, was so successful that the collaboration will be taken to even greater heights this coming year, with another Zero-G event planned among many more events linking dance music and space travel like never before.
