Samsung continues to bring more and more exciting content to its virtual reality platform. It has now teamed up with Live Nation to broadcast Coldplay's A Head Full Of Dreams Tour live in virtual reality from Chicago’s Soldier Field.
Coldplay's A Head Full of Dreams Tour is produced by Live Nation. It's the No.5 highest grossing tour of all time, according to ticket sales data from Billboard Boxscore. More than 5 million people have come in to see the band perform live.
The company is doing something like this for the first time ever. Coldplay fans across more than 50 countries will be able to stream the live VR broadcast of the Coldplay tour on August 17.
The live VR broadcast will be available on Samsung's Gear VR headset through the Samsung VR service on August 17 starting at 8:30 pm CT. Those who tune in are promised the best virtual seats in the house.
They will be treated to an electrifying performance backed by pyrotechnics and laser lights. Those who are unable to tune into the broadcast live need not worry. Samsung confirms that a replay of the concert will be available on Samsung VR, albeit for a limited time.
All that's required to tune into the live VR broadcast is a Gear VR headset with a compatible Samsung smartphone.
