Review: In these times of Covid ruining every music festival going, I do get the reason behind ‘FyreXR Festival’. This is a virtual ticket of sorts to a music event that you can listen to in VR. You can chat to others and walk about the small concert area. The avatar options are not the best, nor are the graphics making up your virtual concert, but if you have been to the real thing you might appreciate the virtual environment more than I did. I just wish there was more things to do when there isn’t a concert on (8, 19 & 20th of June ’21) because when there isn’t this app is pretty much pointless. But I get the feeling someone will like this and wait for the live events. That person is definitely not me.
