Give Me The Future
There have been many concerts in virtual worlds: Travis Scott, Ariana Grande, Lil Nas X etc. These are fun, but lack the human connection of physical live performance. So, rather than put the concert in the metaverse, we brought the metaverse to the concert by combining state of the art virtual production technology with virtual reality, enabling fans around the world to enter the worlds we created and interact with the real flesh-and-blood band members on stage. Bastille’s #1 new album “Give Me The Future” is a concept album addressing new technologies, and our human relationships both with them and each other. We aimed to bring to life the world-building of the album through a fully-realised virtual world where fans could experience the physical real-world performance live from anywhere in the world, and then explore afterwards in VR through Oculus Quest, re-inventing the experience while elevating the human connection. Audience invites are now closed but you can experience a non real-time version of the virtual reality experience on the Oculus Quest 2 here: https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/7360356487368039/
