Post Malone
is teaming with
Pokémon
for a special virtual concert, which will feature the chart-topping star performing in animated form.
The concert will take place on Pokémon Day, February 27, and is part of the brand’s 25th Anniversary celebrations.
“I’ve been a Pokémon fan for a long time, so the opportunity to headline the Pokémon Day concert celebrating 25 years is awesome,” said Post in a statement.
In the
trailer for the show
, Post is shown slowly walking onstage, as he says dramatically, “It’s crazy. I never would have guessed we would be here today after 25 years. It’s you, the fans, that make all this possible. It’s been a wild journey so far but now we’re here and it feels so good.”
We then see he’s holding a Poké Ball, whereupon he’s m
agically transformed into an animation of himself, and then steps onstage.
You can watch the concert for free on the official Pokémon
YouTube
channel, Pokémon’s official
Twitch channel
, and on Pokémon’s 25th anniversary
website
starting at 7:00 p.m. ET on February 27. At the end of the concert, more details about music-related Pokémon celebrations will be revealed.
Katy Perry
has already been announced as one of the participants.
