The journey starts here
Stage11’s David Guetta Experience is a groundbreaking new playable music metaverse adventure, coming in April 2023 to PC, Mobile, Browsers and Smart TV’s.
The aim is to deliver his music and the David Guetta Experience in an amped-up, interactive form, reinterpreting his solo and collaboration work in music and his stadium-filling DJ sets for a new metaverse audience.
Guetta and team took to social media today to drop a new video giving a glimpse of the experience – developed on the Stage 11 platform – on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and Facebook.

In the David Guetta Experience players will select an avatar to join Guetta on a high-octane, sci-fi adventure, where they battle it out to save the future of music in rhythm-action gameplay. Along the way, motion-captured, super-realistic in-game likenesses of Snoop Dogg, Akon, and Ne-Yo take their parts to help players earn interactive NFT collectibles.
A musical mission in the metaverse
The adventure is billed as “an epic, cinematic narrative, with Hollywood-grade visuals, setting players on a mission to save the music metaverse in a revolutionary, immersive, multiplayer environment. You will join forces with HD avatars of David, Snoop Dogg, Akon and Ne-Yo on a mission to save the future of music in every possible universe.”
All the action is of course soundtracked by a DJ mix recorded by David Guetta exclusively for Stage11 – a startup with a core leadership team from the gaming, fashion, and music industries, who are now leveraging cutting-edge technology to reimagine music for the metaverse.
“Performing in the real world is always such an incredible experience; the music, the stage, the crowds. But to be able to take it to the next level with Stage11 and give my fans the opportunity to join me in the metaverse is literally out of this world,” says Guetta.
