The ‘boy from Medellin’ will perform 17 of his greatest hits.
In the press release Balvin says:
“I am always looking for new and innovative ways to expand access to art, and the virtual reality space offers limitless opportunities. The whole show has a futuristic vibe that includes some crazy robotics twice my size. It will be one of my most exciting shows and I thank Meta and iHeart for the unique collaboration and the platform to explore my passion for technology in a way that allows my fans to experience my music in a different way.”
