Music NFTs are popping up IRL.

From ZORATOPIA at SXSW to AfterParty in Vegas this weekend, there’s a growing recognition of the role music is playing in web3 culture.

[TK](https://twitter.com/TKtheLegend) went viral for getting a bid during their set - planting a seed for how Music NFTs can interact with concerts in the future.

At Afterparty, Utopian holders (or Afterparty’s genesis PFP collection) had access to an exclusive part of the venue, giving them a chance to network with some of the biggest creators in the world.

While it's far from perfect, the overlap between Music NFTs and cultural access points are worth paying attention to.

But, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows.

There are growing questions around if Music NFTs have value, and most of web3’s biggest advocates aren’t yet sold on them.

Following performances at the Friends with Benefits and Sound.xyz showcases in SXSW, it’s safe to say Reo is worth keeping an eye on in the weeks to come.
