The Grammy Award winning rock band, who recently released “Van Weezer” and “OK Human,” will take the stage to perform at the exhilarating final race of the 2021-22 DRL World Championship Season, the most competitive drone racing series in the world, where elite drone pilots race custom drones through spectacular courses. The concert will glow in T-Mobile magenta, celebrating the biggest event of the largest global tech conference and wowing thousands of fans in attendance.
