KISS Embraces the Metaverse: Farewell Tour Marks the Beginning of a New Era
TL;DR Summary
KISS has unveiled their virtual avatars at their final farewell tour performance, signaling a "new era" for the band. The avatars, created by Pophouse Entertainment with help from Industrial Light & Magic, will be used to produce "immersive, avatar-powered" concerts. Unlike ABBA Voyage, KISS's shows will be fully pre-recorded with no live music. The success of ABBA Voyage, which made $2 million per week, has inspired other legacy acts to explore virtual live shows.
