Listen to your favourite artists live and free with these live stream concerts!
Have you had a concert cancelled due to the coronavirus? Well, we’ve got some good news for you! Although concerts and gigs have been cancelled or rescheduled, many musicians and artists have decided to give their fans something to keep them busy – live stream concerts. Theatres, record labels and musicians are going live on social media platforms to chat to fans and play shows that we all can see for free, from the comfort of our own homes! It might not be quite the same as a real-life gig, but it will definitely be one to remember. Here are all the live stream concerts you can watch!
Fred Hersch
Every day at 1 pm EDT, Fred Hersch will bless our ears with some soulful piano Jazz. Hersch will live stream concerts from his home via Facebook Live to give fellow jazz enthusiasts a daily dose of music. Along with playing Jazz classics, Hersch will be playing ‘Tunes of the Day’ and the occasional interactive masterclasses to help you learn everything you need to know about Jazz! If you’re lucky enough, you may even get a free one-to-one session with Hersch live onscreen!
Homefest
Out of all our live stream concerts and show suggestions, this one is the only one-off gig. Homefest will go live on CBS at 10 pm EDT on March 30th as part of James Corden’s Late Late Show Special. The show will be filmed live from Corden’s garage, and will feature special guests Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, BTS, and more! Not only will you get a great load of chat show entertainment you usually see from the Late Late Show, but you’ll also get multiple live stream performances from chart-topping artists – what’s not to love? This is a one-off show, so you should NOT miss it!
Bright Minded
Hosted by Miley Cyrus and featuring special guests, this IGTV talk show is all about staying ‘lit’ during the dark times. Although this one isn’t technically a concert, it has many celebrity guests like Demi Lovato, Paris Hilton, Ellen Degeneres and more – so we think it’s worth a watch! On the show, Miley and her guests discuss topics like immune boosters, healthy anxiety, negative thoughts, dedicating 15 minutes to something new and much more. You catch Miley hosting Bright Minded every Monday to Friday at 11:30 am PT on her Instagram.
Metallica Mondays
The Metal group have figured out a way of getting their music to their fans while practising social distancing. Every Monday, the group will live stream concerts from past performances and show archived footage on Youtube and Facebook, completely free. The first Metallica Monday live stream concert got over 2.2 million views and considering the band have been going for around 40 years, they have a lot of footage to share with us all! Tune in to Metallica’s Youtube and Facebook every Monday at 8 pm EDT if you want to be part of it!
Theatre Thursdays
Every Thursday, the National Theatre will live stream concerts for free, starting from April 2nd from 7 pm UK time. From comedy to new drama to classics, National Theatre has promised there will be something for everyone! The #TheatreThursdays will kick off with Richard Bean’s One Man Two Guvnors, starring James Corden in his Tony Award-winning performance. All shows will be available on Youtube at the same time each Thursday, so make sure to take a seat o your sofa and grab your popcorn!
