Lauv and BetterHelp's partnership aims to promote the importance of mental health and improved access to therapy. Any Lauv fan new to BetterHelp can sign up and be matched to a licensed therapist for a free month of professional therapy by visiting http://www.betterhelp.com/lauv.
Lauv fans will be able to view the digital event on November 10th, with tickets starting at $15, available at live.lauvsongs.com.
"I've had such a life changing experience on tour and can't wait to announce more tour dates for 2023, says Lauv. "But in the meantime, this livestream is the perfect experience for us all to celebrate being present in music and in life, all around the world at once."
Lauv, who is distributed via Virgin Music Label & Artist Services, will work with Kiswe to create a live interactive concert experience for audiences around the globe, leveraging integrated chat and cheer functionality along with Kiswe's Fan React technology which allows fans to post 5 second selfies directly into the broadcast. Fans will be able to get up close and personal with Lauv. With Kiswe's world class streaming technology and global reach, it will feel like fans are part of the in-person event.
"Kiswe's reliable, scalable technology continues to help musicians break barriers and connect with the 99 percent of their fanbase who cannot see them in person," said Kiswe CEO Glenn Booth. "We're excited to help loyal fans around the globe experience Lauv's music in new and ever-more immersive ways, while also helping get the message out about the importance of mental health awareness."
"Overcoming the stigma of seeking help for mental health challenges is something that requires so many of us to work together and talk about it," says Alon Matas, President and Founder of BetterHelp. "We're excited to partner with Lauv to further our efforts to reduce the stigma around mental healthcare and provide free therapy resources to those who need it."
