Foo Fighters to Perform VR Concert After NFL’s Big Game on Sunday

On Sunday at 8 PM PST, after the big football game, the Foo Fighters will be performing a 180-degree virtual reality concert on Horizon Venues, a VR app available on the Meta Quest headsets.

The rock band will be playing a set of rarely played tracks, including a song that has never before been performed live.

Fans can watch the concert on the Foo Fighters’ and Meta’s social media pages, but users who access the show from their Meta Quest headsets will be able to customize their appearance, interact with other fans, and play games in the virtual concert lobby.

“Foo Fighters love a challenge — from playing the biggest stages in the world to the tiniest clubs to making movies and miniseries. We’ve pretty much done it all,” Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl said in a statement. “But we’ve never collaborated with Mark Romanek on a conceptual set of songs (including one being played live for the first time ever) for a worldwide audience, where everyone has the best seats in the house thanks to the most badass VR tech…until now. Join us when we cross that one off the FF bucket list!”
