Foo Fighters Free Concert Livestreams After Super Bowl on Facebook, Instagram and VR
The free Foo Fighters show will feature a “conceptual set of songs” performed with “the most badass VR tech,” says Dave Grohl.
Instead of watching the Winter Olympics following Super Bowl LVI, you can catch a free Foo Fighters concert courtesy of Meta (formerly Facebook).
After the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals clash for the NFL championship, Dave Grohl and co. will give a livestreamed performance on Facebook, Instagram, and Horizon Venues, Meta’s social virtual reality app.
The latter digital space will allow Meta Quest VR headset owners to interact using avatars in the “metaverse” environment, Variety reports. The Horizon Venues app will also feature a virtual lobby where users can hang with friends during, before and after the show.
But all will be able to enjoy a “surreal convergence of physical, fantastical visual elements” assembled by concert director Mark Romanek, the noted music video director behind Jay-Z’s “99 Problems” and Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer” videos, among others.
“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,” 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!”
The #QuestAfterShow kicks off on Meta’s platforms at 12 p.m. EST or immediately after the Super Bowl, whichever occurs first. Click the following links to watch on the Foo Fighters’ Facebook and Instagram pages or the Meta Quest Facebook page.
