"Indie venues are where many artists' dreams become reality. During this Pandemic, some of the most iconic up-and-coming artists have been in severe duress as they are unable to perform in such iconic venues. Aligning with brands, like Hyundai, that activate our end-to-end platform to celebrate independent venues and artists and excite consumers is a triple win," said Dermot McCormack, president of LiveXLive.

"It's also a perfect fit for our all-new 2021 Elantra that is loaded with intuitive technology that younger car buyers are seeking."
