Another example to look into for inspiration are silent discos — even though people are gathering in person for these, it could generate ideas for the technical component of the project in syncing audio.

I think some of what you’re proposing is already happening. Look up “DJ D-Nice quarantine party” and read some of the coverage. A well loved old skool DJ used instagram and spotify to hold a dance party for thousands, and celebrities like Michelle Obama showed up. That validates the concept, but means you should understand what those existing systems can and cannot do and see whether you’ve got something to add to existing tools and dynamics.
