British rock band Everything Everything are releasing their fifth album, ‘RE-ANIMATOR’, on 11th September. Today, just two weeks before the album drops, the band have revealed that they will be holding the first ever virtual album release concert.
Titled ‘Everything Everything: Virtual RE-ANIMATOR’, the show is an interactive virtual reality event in partnership with Sansar running over 10th and 11th September. The band will perform a full live show including songs from the new album and previous hits, using visual elements to captivate and impress viewers. Furthermore, fans can meet the band and each other, as well as partake in the virtual reality fun themselves.
General admission tickets are $13 each or $20 for VIP access, which allows ticket-holders to attend a virtual ‘meet and greet’ with the band. Tickets are on sale now but they’re likely to go fast, and along with every purchase comes access to a limited line of ‘Virtual RE-ANIMATOR’ merch.
Collaborators Sansar said in a press release, “We are thrilled to be in partnership with a cutting edge band like ‘Everything Everything’ who clearly sees the future of global virtual performances and the deep engagement it brings to their fans.”
They continued to surprise fans with more news; “We are releasing new fan features specifically for their performances that showcase how a virtual experience can surpass even the awesome reality of live. The creative canvas of virtual concerts is boundless, and we welcome ‘Everything Everything’ with open arms!”
Everything Everything gave their thoughts, saying, “We can’t play shows IRL, but we can do a couple IVR. We might as well try to have some fun with the limitations we all find ourselves under. This is the first chance we’ve had to play a lot of these songs. Come and join us in another dimension. See you in the Interzone.”
