As part of Snap’s multi-year partnership with concert promoter Live Nation, the company will bring AR experiences to 16 music festivals around the world, including Lollapalooza in Chicago and Governors Ball in New York.

Snap’s AR Compass and 3D map technology will be available to festival attendees, who will also have access to custom AR lenses that can be used in Snaps in the Snapchat application.
