Live Performances Online: Something to Watch During the Quarantine
Many public events, including festivals, concerts, and live performances, are canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. For this reason, various people of art, both world-famous and amateurs, go out on social and streaming platforms to play live for their fans.
NPR Music assembles a list of live performances, both in audio format and with video broadcasts from all over the world. The concerts are arranged by date and genre and each broadcast is accompanied by a link to the streaming platform. Some of them require a subscription or registration, but most of them are of free access for everyone. More often than not, they offer the opportunity to purchase a product or music to support the artist.
Some artists plan on setting up daily livestreams. Among them are such famous artists as Ben Gibbard, Cristina, and Queens. More information about them will be added to the resource as soon as it becomes available. The resource will be updated every day for as long as necessary.
To add a concert to the list, simply fill out the Google Form.
