The Meta Quest 3S is giving music fans a concert-going experience unlike anything they’ve experienced before.

Summer is here, which means your favorite artists are likely going out on tour to cities all across the United States, all the while it’s about 100 degrees. If you aren’t willing to make the pilgrimage to concert venues or upcoming festivals this year, the Meta Quest 3S VR headset is giving music fans a concert-going experience unlike anything they’ve experienced before from the comfort of their own home. The headset will currently run you $299.99 on Meta.

Users can access concerts through platforms like AmazeVR Concerts and Meta Horizon Worlds’ Music Valley. These platforms allow users to experience concerts from a front-row perspective virtually thanks to aspects like 360-degree views, close-ups of artists and interactive elements. Each venue is 3D rendered, built right before your eyes in crisp quality.

AmazeVR offers an 8K screening of top artists. You can now attend VR concerts for top acts like TOMORROW X TOGETHER, Avenged Sevenfold, T-Pain, Megan Thee Stallion, Zara Larsson and UPSAHL. You’ll be able to view up-close and personal performances that look and sound so crisp and clear, that you’ll never want to take the headset off.

Meta Horizon Worlds’ Music Valley is similar in that it offers immersive and quality concert experiences from top stars. With your headset, you can currently see stars like Victoria Monét, Omar Apollo, Beabadoobee and Girl In Red. Within the VR space, you can attend concerts, play mini-games and hang out with up to 18 friends in multiplayer environments. In the past, the VR space has held artists like Sabrina Carpenter, Doja Cat and The Kid LAROI.

The best part? Most if not all VR concerts on Meta platforms like Horizon Worlds are free for Meta Quest headset owners. No ticket is necessary. Unlike its predecessor, the Meta Quest 3S boasts visuals that are crisper, loading times that are faster and performance that’s smoother thanks to the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chipset.

As of press time, your Meta Quest 3S will come with the VR game Batman: Arkham Shadow, a one-year limited warranty and a Meta Horizon+ subscription that allows users access to VR games and two curated titles each month. In the box, you get accessories for the headset including a power adapter with a 1-meter USB-C charging and data cable and 2 Touch Plus Controllers with wrist straps and 2 AA batteries.
