horse.mouth I very much think VR as a tech will be a generational thing. Kids/teenagers currently growing up are going to grow up with VR becoming the norm as technology alongside phones, tvs etc. The likes of the who despite how popular they are probably won't drive as many fans to VR like the likes of Niall Horan. The who has 500k twitter followers, Nial Horran has 40m obsessed fans that are much younger and more likely to desire watching his concerts in VR as they grow up and are exposed to the technology more and more.
If anyone, these sort of artists with a younger generation of fans will have the bigger impact in the longer term of driving people to the VR content. More are coming, Liam Payne is working with MVR again another 33+ million followers, Wiz Khalifa 33+ million followers. These three artists alone are in the top 50 most followed twitter users out of 336 million active monthly users! So to say no big names would be a little unfair, big names is subjective, when you look at public followings of artists they have big name and plenty to come from top record labels.
Based on my previous post regarding marketing too I think that applies here. This is going to be slow grower and to think otherwise is naive, plenty here before launch had a very unrealistic expectation that this would be launched with explosive growth into a market relying on physical adoption of hardware which isn't there in the numbers people envisage yet. All in time this should play out very positive should MVR continue on the path they have set out with their planned future features and updates.
