Pandora and Verizon announced that multi-platinum singer-songwriter Sebastián Yatra will perform an innovative virtual concert powered by Verizon's 5G Ultra Wideband network and mobile edge computing platform on Wednesday, June 15, starting at 8pm ET / 5pm PT. Fans can RSVP for the free event HERE.

Pandora is utilizing pioneering content production technology at the Verizon 5G Lab in Los Angeles for this first-of-its-kind event. Working in collaboration with world-renowned XR production team, Magnopus (The Lion King, Pixar's Coco VR), Yatra performed on Verizon's XR virtual production stage and unique virtual environments were designed for each song, taking inspiration from Sebastián's music videos and iconic live performances - uniting both the physical and virtual worlds.

Yatra was 3D scanned using the volumetric capture studio at the Verizon 5G Lab, which will allow him to perform side-by-side with an AR hologram of himself for an iconic rendition of his hit song, "Tacones Rojas," all powered by Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband and edge compute.

The massive bandwidth and ultra-low latency that Verizon 5G Ultra Wideband and edge compute provide enables distributed rendering of assets like holograms to provide an immersive production experience combining production camera feeds, near real-time virtual camera tracking, virtual 3D environments, the LED stage, and augmented reality foreground elements all in virtually real-time.

Marisol Vargas from SiriusXM's Caliente (ch. 151) will host the event and sit down with Yatra for an in-depth Q&A to talk about his experience at the Verizon 5G Lab, his latest album release and upcoming tour. Attendees will also be able to engage in a live chat and see a special behind-the-scenes segment giving an inside look into how Verizon 5G technology powered the experience.
