Calvin Harris has announced his first TikTok LIVE immersive concert.
Calvin’s TikTok avatar will start the party at 8pm GMT on January 13 and will be available on PICO in Europe and Asia.
The virtual event “will take fans on a musical journey through Calvin’s virtual universe, featuring audio-reactive visuals in a nature-inspired luminous world,” according to a press release.”
“I’m so excited to kick off such an innovative music series with Wave, PICO, and TikTok, and can’t wait for fans to experience my first-ever virtual concert,” the Scottish singer-songwriter said.”
“It’s an honor to host Calvin Harris’ first ever virtual concert, which will push the boundaries of what is possible for artists going LIVE on TikTok and PICO,” said Paul Hourican, Global Head of Music Operations at TikTok.
“Calvin is a world-renowned DJ and performer, responsible for some of the biggest electronic hits and headlining massive international festivals. We’ve had a great time working with Calvin, Mark, and the rest of the team, as well as Wave and PICO, to create this unique experience for the TikTok community around the world.”
Meanwhile, the ‘Feels’ hitmaker recently insisted that he was not to blame for the cancellation of Rita Ora’s second album.
The 38-year-old star dated the pop star for about a year before their split in 2014, and he was later accused of barring his ex from performing their collaborative song ‘I Will Never Let You Down’ at the Teen Choice Awards that year. There were also rumors of a personal and professional schism between the two when Rita’s anticipated second album failed to materialize.
Some speculated that Calvin might have refused to sign off on some songs they collaborated on, but he spoke out to refute this.
A fan suggested on Twitter that Rita could have been “one of the biggest pop stars in the world” if her album hadn’t been “torpedoed,” to which Calvin responded, “The entire thing is a myth, there is one unreleased song I worked on and it isn’t good.”
Rita opened up about the Teen Choice Awards drama in an interview with Ryan Seacrest on his radio show after their split, saying: “He wrote and produced the song [‘I Will Never Let You Down’] for anyone who doesn’t understand how it works. So he has to approve anything TV-related… And, obviously, he owns the rights to it, despite the fact that he did not approve the Teen Choice Awards.”
Calvin later insisted that he had good reasons for declining the request.
He tweeted after Rita spoke out: “You’ll only get one side of the story about the Teen Choice Awards because I refuse to talk to the media about every aspect of my personal life. But please understand that I had a very good reason.”
Both the former couple have since moved on. Rita has since released new music and married director Taika Waititi, while Calvin is engaged to TV and radio presenter Vick Hope.
