By simply strapping on a pair of VR goggles, you can “be on stage” with a-ha and enjoy the band’s timeless hits in front of thousands of screaming fans.
“New technology offers fantastic possibilities in the arts- and entertainment sector, and we are happy to take a small part in this pioneering spirit by venturing into untested territory,” says Magne Furuholmen from a-ha.
If you have an iPhone, you need an app to view the songs in VR.
