Jamiroquai is well known for hit songs like “Virtual Insanity,” and “Canned Heat,” and Virtual Insanity was named MTV’s Video of the Year in 1997.

The announcement adds:

The legendary jazz-funk band will bring virtual insanity to its virtual land in The Sandbox.

The Sandbox has partnered with a great deal of musicians, artists, celebrities, and well known brands since the project’s inception. Currently, The Sandbox has more than 200 partners including The Smurfs, Care Bears, Atari, Ubisoft, The Rabbids, BLOND:ISH, Deadmau5, Gucci Vault, The Walking Dead, Snoop Dogg, and Adidas. In a statement sent to Bitcoin.com News, Jamiroquai said the band has always been into futuristic concepts.

“Jamiroquai have always been future-facing and super social – creating a land where everyone can come together in The Sandbox with a bit of funk, freedom, and fashion will provide a communal place to digitally connect with our fans and fellow music lovers,” Jamiroquai said. “We look forward to telling you more soon, but for now can say that hats will definitely be involved.”

According to the announcement, more details about the collaboration with Jamiroquai will be “revealed in the coming months.” The Sandbox, alongside its competitor Decentraland, has been a very popular blockchain-based virtual world. However, both projects’ native crypto tokens have been hit hard in recent times.

The Sandbox crypto asset SAND is up 236% year-to-date, but SAND is currently down 53% during the last 30 days. NFT and virtual land sales have dropped during the past two weeks as well, following the Bored Ape Yacht Club’s Otherdeed sale.
