Moonchaser was a free VRChat music event on August 28, 2026, hosted in Moonchaser 2026.[1][2]

Format

DJ sets and performances were broadcast to every instance of the Moonchaser world at once. Instances other than the DJ's showed a hologram of the DJ.[3][2][4]

The event ran from August 28, 2026, 6:00 PM PDT to August 28, 2026, 11:00 PM PDT.[2][5] It was available on all platforms, including desktop and mobile clients, and was streamed at twitch.tv/vrchat.[2][4][3]

A Quick Menu banner and a World Row linked to the world while the event was live.[2][3]

Schedule

Sets were hourly in PDT.[2]

Softly Steph and Sir Rose were billed as VJs.[6][2]

Rewards

Three rewards were available during the event.[2]

Reward Type Requirement
Moonchaser Wristband Accessory Granted on joining any Moonchaser instance
Moonchaser Shades Accessory One hour total in Moonchaser instances, including time spent moving between instances
Moonchaser Penlight Item (Twitch Drop) Thirty minutes watching the official VRChat Twitch channel, not required to be one continuous set; Account Linking between Twitch and VRChat was required

VRChat reported technical issues distributing the Shades, then stated that everyone who received a Wristband would also receive Shades.[7][8][9]

History

On June 22, 2026, VRChat opened a public interest check for performers and venues for a planned platform-wide event that would broadcast beyond standard instances.[10][11] The July 30, 2026 Developer Update referred to an unnamed event around August's lunar eclipse.[12] On August 13, 2026, VRChat named the event Moonchaser for August 28, 2026.[1] On August 20, 2026, VRChat posted the world, start time, lineup, and rewards.[3][6] On August 29, 2026, after the scheduled end, VRChat posted a wrap-up on Bluesky.[9]
