Music Livestreams You Should Check out During the Quarantine

by Arzu Oran

You might have heard that music is the food of the soul, and maybe this saying is valid more than ever right now. The coronavirus outbreak caused many artists to cancel their shows, venues to lockdown and exposed the underlying fragility of the music industry. However, this also pushed artists to find new and creative ways to reach their audience. It is important to stay home and practice social distancing during these times. But you can still enjoy music broadcasting live from artists’ homes or private spaces. To help you keep track of these events, below are my recommendations of platforms that you can check out to stream concerts and explore new music.
