The Pegasus Dream Tour will host its first virtual concert this Sunday

The Pegasus Dream Tour, the official game of the Paralympics, is set to host a virtual concert series this Sunday, 1st August. The Japanese dance and music group Tokyo Gegegay will start the Avatar GALA Party.

The group found success in 2017 with their music video, Gegegay no Kitaro, which reached over 33 million views on YouTube. But it's not just the one song they're known for; their channel boasts over 100 million views in total.

Developer JP Games hopes the event will allow fans to immerse themselves deeper in the culture of Japan by enjoying a concert within the game. The gig will be available for free, though upgrades players can purchase an A or S ticket upgrade. These will provide virtual VIP seating areas and exclusive interactions with the performers.

The timings for 1st August concert times are:

 JSTUTC
1 11:00 02:00
2 18:00 09:00
3 23:00 14:00
