Roblox is playing host to American band Twenty One Pilots with an immersive, virtual concert next week. Kicking off the group's upcoming Takeøver Tour, the in-game gig will use Roblox's latest tech to throw a five-song show that'll be dynamic, letting fans dictate the setlist in real time – a first for the platform.
Called the Twenty One Pilots Concert Experience, the gig goes live on September 17 at 4pm PT / 7pm ET (September 18 at 12am BST), with hourly replays of the event to follow over the rest of that weekend. It'll feature "a meticulously designed set featuring the latest in Roblox’s lighting, rendering, and motion capture", as developer Roblox Corporation explains in a press release, and there'll be some "metaverse-spanning pre-concert quests" in the run-up to it which tie into some of the platform's most popular experiences: Ultimate Driving: Westover Islands, Creatures of Sonaria, and World // Zero.
You'll also find some new custom portals that'll transport you into the virtual concert venue, which is now open to take a peek at. Additionally, there'll be some special rewards to nab starting from September 10 by completing experience quests, and a grand prize of an Icy Sai sword which can be unlocked later on.
