Virtual music festivals are becoming increasingly popular these days, and the world’s biggest stars are organizing another one for a good cause. Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, and Cardi B will be among 65 acts taking part in Warner Music’s PlayOn Fest.
Just like One World: Together At Home that took place last weekend, PlayOn Fest will donate its proceeds to the World Health Organization’s coronavirus solidarity response fund, but there’s one key difference – these performances aren’t actually brand-new.
Instead of featuring live streams, this virtual festival will feature past performances, but according to their official statement “the majority of this legendary footage has never and will never be available again anywhere else online.”
PlayOn Fest will stream via PlayOnFest.com and Songkick’s YouTube channel between April 24th and April 26th. You can tune in from noon to midnight ET to catch the performances of your favorite artists, many of which were filmed at iconic venues across the globe.
In addition to Sheeran, Mars, and Cardi B, the list of artists taking part in this virtual festival also includes Panic! At The Disco, Green Day, Coldplay, Paramore, Twenty One Pilots, Weezer, David Guetta, Charlie Puth, and Wiz Khalifa.
