Per the press release, fans can expect an &#8220;experience that will be expanded to include interactive art takeovers, immersive installations, murals, and more. Additionally, to support and elevate Vans\u2019s commitment to emerging talent, one burgeoning musician will be chosen by the headliner to open each Vans House Party show.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fans looking for that unique experience will have to set reminders on their phones as this is a free concert series that is based on lightning-fast RSVPs in order to attend.
