He added: "We are very excited to share this new era for the Spring Festival and British Open Championship, allowing families and friends who cannot attend in person to watch the bands perform.

We want these performances to be enjoyed live, relived afterwards, and to showcase the exceptional standard of all the bands competing. We also have ambitious plans to add extra content that will directly benefit the bands as they look to reach out to new audiences, as well as add features that will bring a much more inclusive feel to the events, before, during and after the performances."
