The 83-minute concert, premiering January 24 at 5 pm PT in Meta Horizon Music Valley, is produced through a collaboration between Dorsey Pictures, 7 Cinematics, and Light Sail VR. The 180-degree experience was filmed at Colorado's iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, capturing both the venue's natural beauty and acoustic excellence.

Fans can expect performances of Mendes' biggest hits, including "Stitches," "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back," "In My Blood," and "Why Why Why." The concert is specifically designed for VR viewing and available to Meta Quest 3S, Quest 3, Quest 2, and Quest Pro users.

"Red Rocks was one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen in my life," says Mendes. "That night was so special to me, and I'm so happy to be able to bring it to those who couldn't be there in person."

Sarah Malkin, Director of Metaverse Entertainment Content at Meta, emphasizes the concert's ability to create an intimate connection between Mendes and his fans: "This project captures the energy and emotion of an unforgettable night, giving fans a true sense of what it's like to be right there with Shawn at Red Rocks."

Limited-time replays will be available in Meta Horizon Music Valley following the premiere. Interested viewers can currently RSVP for the event and subscribe for updates about future performances.
