Avenged Sevenfold will stream a 3D, 360-degree live performance around the world on October 27 (Thursday).
The performance will begin at 8.30pm PDT (3.30am GMT) on the band’s Facebook page.
Avenged Sevenfold have teamed up with Universal Music Group (UMG), Capitol Records and VRLIVE for the event, which is described as “a global, 3D/360-degree, live-streamed virtual reality performance.”
The event description continues: “Fans around the world will be able to view the live stream on UMG’s newly released VRTGO VR platform, powered by VRLIVE’s advanced technology, and experience Avenged Sevenfold’s electrifying set as if they were there for this first-of-its-kind immersive event. VRTGO is freely available on iOS and Android.”

Michelle Jubelirer of Capitol Records says: “We are constantly working to create opportunities for our artists to connect with their fans in new and exciting ways.
“We’re thrilled to work with Avenged Sevenfold and VRLIVE to bring this unique experience to Avenged Sevenfold fans around the world.”
VRLIVE will also be streaming the event to 50 Samsung Gear VR headsets on the ground level at the event for the guests to virtually transport themselves to the stage.
