Megan Thee Stallion Will Embark on a VR Concert Tour
Megan Thee Stallion has announced the first ever virtual reality concert tour. The singer will embark on a tour in the United States called ‘Enter Thee Hottieverse.’ The VR event will have a multi-song set that moves through various locales and includes “hot bespoke” outfits. Fans will be able to go to their local cinemas and put on the “Hottie Mounted Displays” VR headsets before seeing Megan perform.
“Virtual reality has always been an interest of mine, and I’m glad that we’ll be able to make history with this experience,” the rapper said in a statement via Billboard. “My hotties will get to watch me perform in a completely different and unique way, and I appreciate the AmazeVR team for helping me to bring this VR vision to life. I can’t wait to see the Hotties show up to the tour.”
From April 5 to July 3, the tour will hit ten US cities, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Atlanta, Miami, and Washington, DC, before concluding with four performances in New York from June 30 to July 3.
Meanwhile, the rapper was just added to the Wireless Festival 2022 lineup, among headliners Tyler, the Creator, Cardi B, and J. Cole, as well as Doja Cat and Burna Boy. Along with The Strokes, Post Malone, and The Smile, she was recently added to this year’s Roskilde lineup.
This year’s edition will be headlined by Dua Lipa and Tyler, the Creator, as previously announced. Haim & St. Vincent, Jada, The Blaze, and Thomas Helmig are among the other headliners on the lineup. Megan Thee Stallion is also up for two awards at the BandLab NME Awards 2022, which will take place on 2nd March at London’s O2 Academy, Brixton.
She is nominated for Best Live Act and Best Festival Headliner at the bash, which will be co-hosted by comedian, actor, and writer Daisy May Cooper as well as grime trailblazer and radio host Lady Leshurr. It will feature massive live performances from Sam Fender, Griff, Rina Sawayama, and the newly announced BERWYN and Chvrches, with special guest Robert Smith of The Cure. Halsey will also be in attendance to accept the Innovation Award this year.
