# ICM: COC Concertz

COC Concertz is The ZAO's live concert series - shows that put ZAO/independent artists in front of real audiences. (Spelling: "COC Concertz" - space, and a z.)

## What it is
- A recurring concert/showcase series run by Zaal (BetterCallZaal) under the ZAO umbrella; a live-culture surface alongside the ZAO Festivals.
- Runs numbered editions (e.g. COC #7, mid-July 2026). Recent editions pilot dropping wallet gates to capture broader numbers.
- Has graduated toward its own repo/ops (the pattern: a ZAO thing graduates to its own repo + domain once production-ready).

## Why it matters
- Direct artist exposure + community IRL energy; a proving ground that feeds the wider ZAO ecosystem (clips, bounties, festival pipeline).
