2 Chainz announced for 4/20 virtual reality livestream with Tidal and Oculus
2 Chainz is the next artist to headline TIDAL x Oculus’ virtual reality concert series.
The rapper will take to the stage for a weed-friendly celebration on April 20, the annual day and time at which cannabis smokers are encouraged to light up worldwide. However, the set won’t happen at 4.20pm local time; 2 Chainz will instead kick off the show at 9pm ET (2am BST, April 21).
Fans can either watch via TIDAL or the Venues apps, which contains the Oculus Quest feature for viewers looking for the full virtual reality experience. 2 Chainz follows Snoop Dogg on the TIDAL concert series livestream, who performed under his DJ alias of DJ SNOOPADELIC in February.
