Charli XCX is the first performer in Oculus and Tidal's VR concert series
You can catch her show on October 9th in Venues or in regular 2D on Tidal.
Oculus and Tidal will host a series of six concerts in the coming weeks, and they’ve revealed the first performer. Electropop star Charli XCX will take to the virtual stage on October 6th at 9PM ET.
You can watch the concerts in virtual reality through the Venues app on Oculus Quest and Oculus Go. There’s also the option of catching the shows in regular ol’ 2D on Tidal. Each gig will run for at least 45 minutes. Oculus and Tidal will reveal the other five performers later.
Livestreams and Fortnite concerts have been as close as many of us have gotten to live music experiences in recent months. That’s not likely to change any time soon as the COVID-19 pandemic persists. At least the Oculus/Tidal series will give you another outlet to enjoy live music for now.
