Technology is a crazy thing. It allows people to stay connected, and it also allows artists to stay connected to fans and followers.
Foo Fighters announced on their social media pages last night (Feb. 7th), that they will be performing a virtual reality concert following the conclusion of the Super Bowl on February 13th. Teaming up with video director Mark Romanek, the group plans to shoot a concert specifically with virtual reality in mind. With multiple 180° cameras positioned around the stage, providing the viewer with quite an immersive experience. Frontman Dave Grohl had this to say about the event.
“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!”
Foo Fighters are coming off of a wildly successful 2021, following the release of their most recent studio album Medicine At Midnight. The group also has a movie coming out based on odd experiences that occurred while recording Medicine At Midnight. Studio 666 is the name of the film, and it is due out everywhere on February 25, 2022. The full-length trailer can be viewed below.
