Imagine singing along to “Ho Hey” and “Stubborn Love,” feeling every lyric and drumbeat, except instead of a crowded arena, you’re wearing a Meta Quest headset, surrounded by fans from across the globe. That’s reality now as iHeartRadio and Meta join forces to deliver a one-of-a-kind concert experience featuring The Lumineers, streaming exclusively in Meta Horizon Worlds.
A Concert Experience Like No Other
For fans of the multi-platinum folk-rock group, this isn’t just another live stream. Instead, it’s a fully immersive, 3D virtual reality show: The Lumineers’ hits echo around you, and the energy is as electric as any stadium tour. Attendees are treated to a soul-stirring setlist including chart-toppers “Ho Hey,” “Stubborn Love,” and their new crowd-pleaser, “Same Old Song.” It’s as close as you can get to a front-row seat, without ever leaving your living room.
Following in Star-Studded Footsteps
This Lumineers event joins a growing legacy of iHeartRadio Meta Quest concerts. Past shows have featured artists like The Kid LAROI, Jung Kook, Victoria Monét, RAYE, and even Imagine Dragons, who performed their hits and new releases in VR, often paired with candid interviews and interactive segments.
K-pop icons BLACKPINK have a virtual concert and even global sensation Sabrina Carpenter has transported fans into her music with the use of extremely immersive visuals in a medium that is a true game changing experience.
Meta Quest users have raved about these groundbreaking VR events:
- Jack Harlow’s “No Place Like Home” let viewers walk the streets of Kentucky with the rapper and his friends, culminating in a sold-out arena VR performance.
- Doja Cat’s “The Scarlett Tour” and Sabrina Carpenter’s holiday concerts harnessed 3D video and rich environments, raising the bar for virtual concert production.
These unique events are only accessible to anyone with a Meta Quest 2, 3, or Pro headset in supported regions.
Bringing Fans Together, Virtually
You’ll enjoy customising your avatar, sharing virtual high-fives, or dancing side by side with global fans in what feels like the most bizarre festival you’ve ever attended, but you don’t have to worry about camping because you can sleep in your own bed that night.
VR concerts don’t replace or replicate real-world shows; they reimagine them. Every song feels intimate and spectacular at once.
The Lumineers’ upcoming show continues this innovation. It’s a must-see event for fans wanting more from their favourite artists and for anyone curious about the blend of technology and music in a way that is accessible to more people.
Just don’t forget: this world features flashing lights, so photosensitive individuals should take care.
Ready to Join the Crowd?
