■About “ESPERA -AdHoc Live Festival 2026-”

“ESPERA -AdHoc Live Festival 2026-” is a virtual music festival held in VRChat over three days, from Friday, November 20 through Sunday, November 22, 2026.

Free performances will take place on Friday, November 20 and Saturday, November 21, so that even more people can experience music in VRChat.
The final day, Sunday, November 22, will feature a ticketed performance.

The festival aims to create a new kind of musical experience where music culture born and nurtured in virtual spaces meets internet music centered on VOCALOID, along with VTuber and virtual-artist culture.

VRChat, the platform hosting the festival, is a social VR platform where users from around the world can gather as avatars in a shared space and experience events together.

ESPERA offers a special live experience unlike anything you would find at an in-person event or through a conventional video stream.

For this performance, the artists’ vocals, movements, and stage effects will be transmitted to every instance in real time.
This allows large numbers of people to share the same live performance at the same moment, without being limited by the maximum number of users permitted in a single VRChat instance.
Whether you attend alone or with friends, ticket holders are free to create and enjoy their own instances.
