PLEASANTON, Calif. – July 14, 2011 – Milyoni, the leader in F-commerce, today announced that it is bringing the first live Social Theater concert from South Africa to a global audience via Facebook. Presented by Ridgeline Entertainment, the concert will feature popular South African rock band The Parlotones playing their hits in a rock theater-style show called “Dragonflies and Astronauts.” The show airs live from Johannesburg on Saturday, July 16 at 4pm ET/1pm PT.

“We’ve been working very hard with The Parlotones and Milyoni to introduce the world to the band’s unique rock theater experience,” said Jon Pauling, VP of Production, Ridgeline Entertainment. “Dragonflies and Astronauts will feature some very creative imagery, which will come across flawlessly thanks to Milyoni’s Social Theater. We are excited to be presenting this rock opera of sorts to a global audience using a powerful social tool like Facebook.”

Leveraging Milyoni’s Conversational Commerce™ platform, Social Theater provides a way to enhance the overall remote concert experience. Milyoni’s technology provides a whole new level of social interaction by allowing fans to comment, chat and share the live concert experience with friends and family across the world – all without leaving the band’s Facebook page.

“Facebook has changed the way that music is shared and discovered today – offering great potential for musicians to reach a global audience,” said John Corpus, founder and CEO, Milyoni. “The Parlotones are hugely popular in South Africa, and Social Theater opens the door for them to receive exposure and success worldwide.”

The Parlotones’ concert will also be broadcast live in 3D on DIRECTV’s 3D channel, n3d, powered by Panasonic for viewers in the U.S. It is the first episode from the Planet Keepers series put together by the Emmy Award winning producer of Deadliest Catch, Doug Stanley, executive producer and CEO of Ridgeline Entertainment.
