A virtual reality (VR) concert film by English rock band Queen, titled "VR The Champions," will reportedly premiere at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival.

The 3D film will play during the festival's closing weekend, announced EW, citing festival organizers.

"VR The Champions" was reportedly shot last May in Barcelona, while the band performed for an audience of 15,000.

It will join another virtual reality film on the Tribeca roster: on Thursday, organizers announced that Kathryn Bigelow and Imraan Ismail's "The Protectors: Walk in the Ranger's Shoes" will also premiere at the festival. The documentary short follows African rangers as they protect elephants from ivory poachers.

The 2017 Tribeca Film Festival runs April 19-30.
