Foo Fighters detailed a Super Bowl Sunday virtual reality concert set to take place after the game on Sunday, February 12. For those with Meta Quest headsets, the concert will be presented on VR app Horizon Venues but will also stream on Foo Fighters Facebook and Instagram accounts and Meta’s (Facebook) social media pages at 8 p.m. PT.
The 180-degree VR concert will boast a live debut from Foo Fighters as well as a set of rarities. Filmmaker Mark Romanek — who has helmed music videos by Beyoncé and Taylor Swift — is slated to direct the show. Those experiencing the concert through Meta Quest Headsets will be able create avatars, connect with other virtual concertgoers and more.
Foo frontman Dave Grohl detailed the virtual concert in a statement:
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. 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!
