In 2020, due to the impact of COVID-19, almost all events were canceled or postponed.
Many fans had spent the year looking forward to music festivals held nationwide every year, so I’m sure a lot of people are disappointed by this unavoidable situation.
Amid all this, there’s been a rise in audience-free live shows using livestreaming, and that trend has reached the festival scene as well.
Now you can enjoy music festivals from across the country—and even around the world—right from home.
In this article, we’ll introduce a roundup of festivals being held online using livestreams!
Of course, nothing beats the excitement of being at the venue, but enjoying a festival at your own pace at home can be a luxurious experience, too!
A crisis can be an opportunity—why not take this chance to enjoy festivals you’ve never been able to attend before?
