The festive last month of 2024 has finally started and from this Friday, 6 December, the virtual doors of club VERSE will open again in VRChat for performances by talented Japanese virtual artists.
Club VERSE is best described as a combination of a livehouse and a club, where you can attend performances but also relax in the bar with a drink or a game. It is part of ALLVERSE World, a virtual world that opened in 2021; the opening of club VERSE last 25 October coincided with the second anniversary of ALLVERSE WORLD. After you arrive at the world in VRChat, you will immediately see how the world is designed. In fact, the club is in the middle of a city on an island named VERSE CITY.
For the month of December, four Friday evenings (Japanese time) are scheduled with performances, specifically on 6, 13, 20 and 27 December, one of which, on 20 December, is a special Christmas edition with nine performances under the banner of X’mas Verse. In addition, a new regular performer will be introduced during this month, namely Re:ELLA Station.
You can choose between two options to attend the Friday evenings of club VERSE: Join in VRChat or watch the performances live on YouTube. To access club VERSE in VRChat, it is important to become a member of the ALLVERSE VRChat Group, you can do this by logging into VRChat with your browser. Once a member, you will get updates on when the virtual doors of club VERSE open while you are active in VRChat. When it is not possible to attend the event in VRChat, it is good to know that the weekly performances will also be streamed on the YouTube channel of ALLVERSE.
