Justin Bieber is heading to the metaverse! JB is set to perform songs off of his latest album Justice in a live, virtual concert on Wave, which is a virtual entertainment platform.  According to Billboard, “Audiences will get to interact with Bieber himself, who will be controlling his digital avatar by wearing a motion-capture suit.”

Justin, who is an investor in Wave, said in a statement, “I am a big believer in Wave and love the platform as a new way for me to engage with my fans.  I’m excited to be using this technology to bring people together and connect with fans from all over the world. I can’t wait for them to check out this interactive performance.” 

 

Wave COO Jarred Kennedy shares, “You’re able to interact with the experience and with the performer because it’s happening live, and so when you’re on [the Wave platform], fans have the opportunity to show up using a webcam during the performance or see their name on a background dancer or interact or power up the performer’s avatar.  There are various ways that you can engage with the show in real time around a format that we think is really special.”
