Through NextVR’s partnership with Live Nation, we’ll be able to experience the concert as if you are there, immersed in the show from front-row. The performance will be delivered from multiple vantage points throughout the venue. Imagine being able to teleport throughout the concert venue, that’s exactly what you’ll be able to do in the live virtual reality concert.

“There is something special about live music that traditional media can’t capture fully. When you see a live event on TV or hear a recording it is never the same as being in the audience. NextVR has the ability to put you in the crowd, on stage and fully immersed in the moment. We can bring you the experience as it is meant to be.” — Amy Battese, Music Coordinating Producer at NextVR

As someone who has attended 50+ live concerts and music festivals, I’m madly in love with live musical performances.

Here’s why I’m excited about live concerts in virtual reality:

Easy Access to Concert Venues: I no longer live in a metropolitan hub such as San Francisco, ripe with live music and concerts every day of the week. Seeing my favorite artists is no longer as easy as a $5 Uber ride to The Independent afterwork.

Standing at 5'3" does not help me whether I am in the front or the back of the audience, I guarantee you that there is someone taller bobbing their head to the beat right in front of me.

Super Powers: Have you ever been at a concert and wished you could teleport from the balcony view down to the standing section without missing any of the performance? Yes! Sometimes your feet just get tired.

Thievery Corporation’s December 7th performance is part of their 20th (🎉!) Anniversary Tour. The first time I listened to Thievery Corporation was over 10 years ago in the soundtrack of one of my all-time favorite movies, Garden State. I was mesmerized by their eclectic fusion of sounds and the song “Lebanese Blonde” featured in Garden State still holds its place timelessly on my playlists.

👋 I’ll be attending the Thievery Corporation concert live in virtual reality Wednesday, December 7th at 6:45pm PT.

Thievery Corporation is a recording artist and DJ collective comprised of the iconic duo: Rob Garza and Eric Hilton. Their music style combines elements of dub, acid jazz, reggae, Indian classical, Middle Eastern, hip hop, electronica and Brazilian.
