Show will follow Super Bowl
Meta is hosting a post Super Bowl Foo Fighters concert in Horizon Venues on Sunday, February 13th. The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers will perform a 180-degree VR concert in Horizon Venues after the big game, giving fans a chance to be front row without even leaving the house.
Directed by famed music video director Mark Romanek, this immersive experience will feature a custom stage design, a surreal convergence of physical, fantastical visual elements as well as some rarely-played tracks from the group including one that’s never been heard in concert before.
“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,” says Foo Fighters founder and frontman Dave Grohl. “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!”
Horizon Venues is the social, virtual reality app where people can create their own avatars and come together from all over the world to enjoy events together via Meta Quest headsets.
The event will also stream on Facebook Watch on the Foo Fighters Facebook Page and the Meta Quest Facebook Page, as well as on Foo Fighters’ Instagram, and it will be featured on Portal and Messenger via Watch Together.
The show will start at 8 pm PT or immediately following the conclusion of the game, whichever occurs later.
Fans can meet up with each other in the Venues lobby before, during, and after the show, which will feature a custom, football-themed environment. Some of the lobby bays will also have doorways into Horizon Worlds where people 18+ in the US and Canada can jump into additional football-themed games and experiences, including a laser tag-inspired team game.
