A free Blackpink concert is coming to VR on Dec. 26

Four members of Blackpink, Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa, and Rose stand in a row on stage, taking a bow.

A front-row concert seat is every fan’s dream, and Blackpink is making it a (virtual) reality for anyone with a VR headset.

The group will host a free VR concert, “BLACKPINK: A VR Encore,” in Meta’s Horizon Worlds Music Valley on December 26 at 5 pm PT.

The show will run for 70 minutes, and it won’t look like your typical concert film. The event was custom-captured and produced for VR at the band’s Born Pink World Tour finale at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, filmed with on-stage cameras. That means you’ll have a better-than-front-row seat to all the fashion, fireworks, and performances of hits like “Pink Venom.”

You can RSVP to the concert at this link. And if you don’t catch the premiere on Dec. 26, don’t worry. Replays of the concert will be available until the end of January in Meta Horizon Worlds.

Viewers who want to keep the party going after Blackpink takes their final bows can stop by Horizon Worlds’ Club Photo Oppa, where a K-pop-themed after-party will rage from 6-7 pm PT.
