I'm guessing that the mics are picking up the hall music, and some technician had instructions to play background music on the web feed.

Sounds right, I just heard a voice over the PA system.

Argh, yes...it's really unpleasant.

On the official stream?

Yup, seems a few people hear it as well.

Same here. It's very annoying.

Came here to ask if anyone else had that problem. The combination is really strange.

Yeah, it's quite bothersome. I've muted it until the show starts. Interestingly though, they seem to be playing a Tycho album in the background.
