Sarah Malkin, Director of Metaverse Entertainment Content at Meta, emphasizes the production's goal of capturing the authentic connection between Mendes and his fans. The concert will be available for replay in Meta Horizon Music Valley for a limited time, giving fans worldwide the opportunity to experience this unique performance.
