If you missed out on seeing BLACKPINK perform live this year, be it as part of Coachella 2023 or their much-heralded performance at BST Hyde Park 2023 in London, then perhaps this is for you. If, however, you are a “blink” who just cannot get enough of the group, who may or may not resign with ADOR in the New Year, then this news is definitely for you.

“BLACKPINK: A VR Encore” offers fans a front-row seat to the Seoul performance from the comfort of their own home, providing that you have the necessary Meta Quest VR headset required to watch the concert. The concert, an extension of their dedicated tour, is a collaboration with The Diamond Bros and Meta, with Josh Diamond describing BLACKPINK as iconic and groundbreaking, highlighting the significance of capturing their final Encore tour performance in Seoul.
