Groovy Baby: Virtual Live Music

If ever there was an itinerary tailor-made for free spirits looking to jam out while basking in bohemian vibes virtually – this would be it.

Music fuels the soul of Hippiestock, and Second Life’s platform becomes your stage as talented musicians take time to entertain us.

This year’s lineup promises non-stop entertainment from artists like Hippie Bowman, kicking off with The Wheatstone Bridge—a two-man band known for their infectious rhythms—and ending on high notes with LLuis Indigo’s fiery guitar licks. It’s more than just listening; it’s about feeling connected to a global community vibing together in harmony.

No admission tickets are needed here—it’s all part of your experience entering this digital hippie fest.
