Virtual concerts firm Wave is announcing “One Wave,” a series of virtual concerts with John Legend, Galantis, Tinashe, and others. The company uses cutting-edge broadcast and gaming technology, creating motion-captured performances of the artists and turning them into animated characters in virtual worlds.

Wave will transform all participating artists into their own digital avatars, allowing them to perform live in an immersive and fantastical virtual world. The news comes just after Epic Games announced that its live concerts for Travis Scott in Fortnite drew more than 27 million viewers to see his Astronomical show.
