Justin Bieber has teamed up with 'Wave' to give fans an interactive virtual experience.
The virtual experience will be a 45-minute concert with a 10-minute preshow where Justin Bieber will perform "as an avatar in his own virtual universe."
With the pandemic, artists had to rethink the concert-goer's experience. Therefore, Waves is helping meet this need by offering interactive virtual concerts. According to the brand, these experiences will be "performed live by artists, influenced by audiences and experienced together." Through Wave, fans can chat with each other, send virtual expressions, and turn on their webcams to be featured on the jumbotron during the artist's performance.
Fans can view the experience by signing up for a free wave.watch account. The interactive virtual experience will take place worldwide, and the schedule is available for fans to check out on the Wave website.
