Thought Summer 2020 was going to be #lit, and now all of your festivals, concerts and events of any shape or form have been cancelled? Yep, thanks for that COVID-19. But, hey, it’s not all bad: forget<\/em> people singing badly over your fave jams, forget<\/em> queues to the bar, and forget<\/em> being pushed by eager beavers determined to elbow their way to the front of the stage.<\/p>\n

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, artists across the board have used their creative abilities and taken their performances online in order to reach their devoted fans. Meaning, you can watch your most loved artists from the safe and comfortable distance of your sofa or bed (if that’s how you roll) with free queue-jump to the much more reasonably priced refreshments of your fridge.<\/p>\n

From House DJ’s to opera, whatever your genre, the internet is live-streaming it.<\/p>\n

Here are the best ways you can watch live concerts, performances and exclusive interviews from your living room during isolation:<\/p>\n
