How To Watch Doja Cat’s ‘Scarlet Tour’ For Free

by

About a month ago, Doja Cat completed her sold-out Scarlet tour, which Uproxx reviewed as show “not just for [the fans] and not just for Doja Cat, but also for Amala, the girl who loved music so much she made it her life against all odds.”

If you missed out on your chance to see the Scarlet tour live, have no fear. Later this month, you’ll get the chance to experience it for yourself from the comfort of your own home. Best of all, it’ll be for free — as long as you have a Meta Quest headset.

The immersive experience will go live on Saturday, January 20 at 5pm PT, in Meta Quest’s Music Valley and run for the next month. The set was recorded during her concert in Detroit, capturing all the best moments, from her Matrix-inspired robot to a giant eyeball.

In the press release, Doja said, “Bringing The Scarlet Tour to life was an amazing experience for me. Taking it from an idea to real life and sharing that with my fans at arenas was surreal and rewarding. To now be able to share the live show through VR with Meta and The Diamond Bros for Doja Cat: The Scarlet Tour in VR is a perfect way for fans who did not get to come to a show to feel like they did. I can’t wait for everyone to see what we have created.”

June contains two occasions that are moments of celebration in Black culture. The first is Juneteenth, which occurs on June 19th, as it was declared a federal holiday last year on June 17, 2021. The second is Black Music Month which has been celebrated every June since President Jimmy Carter initiated it back in 1979. With both of those events in mind, Meta has decided to launch an all-in-one virtual reality concert series featuring some of today’s most talented R&B acts: Lucky Daye, Umi, and Serpentwithfeet. The series, dubbed the Soul Sessions, was announced as an exclusive through Meta’s all-in-one virtual reality headset, Quest 2.

The series kicks off on Thursday, June 16 at 10am PST and the concerts, which were recorded live, will be split into three episodes for each artist. The performances will be available to check until Sunday, June 26 at 11:59pm PST. According to a press release, each episode, which was exclusively made for the Quest 2 headset on Oculus TV and Venues in Horizon Worlds, will feature an interview with the artist where they will explain “how they continue to push culture forward through their music.”

Lucky Daye, Umi, and Serpentwithfeet have all been active over the last six months. Lucky Daye is just months removed from the release of his sophomore album, Candydrip, which was included on Uproxx’s Best Albums Of 2022 So Far list. Umi released her official debut, Forest In The City, last month and Serpentwithfeet used the final months of 2021 to release his Deacon’s Grove EP.
