RIOT MUSIC runs the VRChat world AdHoc and is preparing ESPERA -AdHoc Live Festival 2026-, a three-day event in VRChat from November 20 to 22, 2026, co-planned with Culture Entertainment. The first two days are free performances and the final day is ticketed, with performers, content, and ticket details to be announced from October 2026.
RIOT MUSIC's activity in these two stories runs through AdHoc, a VRChat world the company runs for user streaming. The earlier of the two stories, from late August 2026, places the world at the center of a Muhansho Records talk event called CROSSOVER on September 7, marking Matsunaga Iori's final EP Timeless Beats ahead of the EP's September 9 release and her graduation from Muhansho Records in September 2026. Guest Jin, who produced the track NAMED, joined Matsunaga for a two-person talk. That event is a single-artist use of the world, tied to a release and a departure.
By late September 2026 the scale described is different. RIOT MUSIC set ESPERA -AdHoc Live Festival 2026- for VRChat across Friday, November 20, Saturday, November 21, and Sunday, November 22, 2026, co-planned with Culture Entertainment. The first two days are free performances and the final day is ticketed. Performing artists, performance content, and ticket prices and sales methods will be announced from October 2026.
What connects the two is AdHoc as the venue and the audience accumulated there: the festival coverage puts AdHoc's tally at 50,000 cumulative visits and more than 3,700 group participants as of September 2026. What the stories leave open is the paid day itself. The free performances and the ticketed final day are confirmed as a structure, but the artists, the content, and the ticket terms are all still to come from October 2026.
