New year, new livestreams! Though musicians are easing back into the action now that the holidays are over and we’re officially in the first week of 2021, that doesn’t mean there aren’t any good livestreams and virtual shows to check out from the comfort of your couch and new jammies.
In fact, there are two big celebrations of late music icon David Bowie, who would’ve celebrated his 74th birthday on Jan. 8. The first is a concert that features some of Bowie’s celebrated collaborators, including Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor, Peter Frampton, Duran Duran, Michael C. Hall and many more. And speaking of the former Dexter star, Hall’s London stage performance in Lazarus as Bowie’s Newton from The Man Who Fell to Earth streams also on the legendary artist’s birthday, and through the weekend.
Here are some of the most notable music streaming events for the week of Jan. 4-10. We’ll update this list as more shows are announced.
