This event promises to redefine the way fans engage with live music, blending technology with artistry in a manner that only Radiohead could achieve.
The concert, titled “A Moon Shaped Pool: The VR Experience,” will allow fans from around the world to immerse themselves in a virtual environment inspired by the band’s critically acclaimed album. Utilizing state-of-the-art VR technology, attendees will be able to explore intricate digital landscapes while experiencing live performances of their favorite tracks, including “Burn the Witch” and “Daydreaming.”
