Calvin Harris Announces An ‘Immersive’ Gig on TikTok Live

Calvin Harris is all set for his first ever virtual concert on TikTok Live, and it’s going to blow our minds away! The show will take place on 13th January and will be broadcast live on Harris’ own TikTok handle. 

The press release stated that he “will take fans on a musical journey through Calvin’s virtual universe, featuring audio reactive visuals in a nature inspired luminous world”.

“I’m so excited to kick off such an innovative music series with Wave, PICO and TikTok and can’t wait for fans to experience my first ever virtual concert,” Harris stated. “It’s an honour to host Calvin Harris’ first ever virtual concert, which will push the boundaries of what is possible for artists going LIVE on TikTok and PICO,” Paul Hourican, Global Head of Music Operations at TikTok responded to the action.

“Calvin is a globally acclaimed DJ and performer, responsible for some of the biggest electronic hits and headlining massive international festivals. We’ve loved working with Calvin, Mark and the whole team as well as Wave and PICO to create this experience, which is going to be a special moment for the global TikTok community.”

Calvin Harris has been pretty famous on TikTok with his songs including ‘Stay With Me’, which inspired a dance trend that saw multiple users and fans creating their own renditions of the same. They used the audio to create reels with their favourite festival outfits, make transition reels and some of them even included their family in the trend. He was also set to produce an album for Rita Ora, but they did not release it because he said ‘it isn’t good.’
