‘League of Legends’ is hosting an interactive heavy metal show

What, you’ve never been in a virtual mosh pit before?

League of Legends is about to put on a virtual heavy metal concert with its in-universe band Pentakill. Yes, you read that right! Fans will even be able to influence the show as it happens. 

So how does this online shindig work, exactly? Well, fans need to head over to the concert’s Wave page on September 8 at 1:00 PM PT / 4:00 PM ET to participate as it happens. Concert-goers can make choices that will impact what happens on stage in real-time while chatting with other attendees. Though if you would like to watch rather than participate, there are options to view it on YouTube and Twitch as well.

“We’re excited to continue to push the envelope in music and storytelling with Pentakill,” said Toa Dunn, head of Riot Games Music said in a statement. “With our partners at Wave, The Mill, and We Are Royale, we have set out to showcase what the future of virtual entertainment experiences can be.”

The whole event is a sort of countdown to Pentakill’s newest album Lost Chapter, which will be on all the big streaming platforms right after the concert is over.
