Playlouder was an online music magazine based in London.[1][2] It provided news, reviews, gig-listings, features, and other music-related content. The publisher later moved into providing music access, and claimed to be the world's first music service provider[3] — an Internet service provider bundling access to music content along with broadband Internet access.
The magazine's publishing company presented the world's first virtual music festival in partnership with Glastonbury Festival in 2001, and was the online partner for Glastonbury Festival from 2000, webcasting full performances from bands including Gorillaz, Blur, Basement Jaxx, The White Stripes, Orbital, Coldplay, The Flaming Lips, Sigur Rós, Franz Ferdinand, Muse, and Bloc Party.
