Terry Crews and quarterback Cam Newton will be among the personalities offering virtual workouts.

This newest live-streaming event is kicking off Houseparty’s newest feature, also called “In The House”, which allows users to watch videos together within the app. In an interview with Variety, Houseparty CEO and co-founder Sima Sistani explained, “We are bringing back appointment viewing…trying to capture that feeling of sitting on the couch for that special show with your family or friends on a Friday night. We’ve invited some of our favourite artists to participate in this kickoff event.”

“In The House” is available to anyone who has the free Houseparty app, and a schedule of content can be found on Houseparty’s website.

Fans of Katy Perry can look forward to a performance of her anticipated new single ‘Daisies’, which will be released on Friday. In a recent Facebook Livestream, Perry shared that the song comes off her forthcoming fifth studio album, which she confirmed will come out later this year. Perry will debut ‘Daisies’ on Amazon Live this Friday at 10:00 am PST, and said that, “It’s a song for all of the dreams that you guys have been dreaming about, and all the things you want to achieve”.
