Some of the biggest names in rock, country, rock, and hip-hop are teaming up to help raise money for independent music venues hit hard by the pandemic.
Without concerts and shows, these places can’t make any money and could close forever.
So, Foo Fighters, Dave Matthews, Miley Cyrus, Jason Mraz, G-Eazy, Brittany Howard, and a bunch more are joining forces for the Save Our Stages Festival. The artists are going to be recording their performances at different venues around the U.S.
From Variety.com:
#SOSFEST, a three-day virtual music festival to spread awareness of the $10 billion Save Our Stages Act currently before Congress, and raise funds for independent venues that are the beneficiaries of the act — if it passes. The act, which is attached to the Heroes Act, is currently before the Senate but delayed by conflicting messages from President Trump.
Then, you’ll be able to see them all during the Save Our Stages festival on YouTube October 16-18.
