Streaming concerts are all the rage while can’t attend them in person. The fate of Lollapalooza is supposed to determined this week, and we wonder when we will be able to go somewhere together again physically but through the wondrous endless portal that is the web there is a lot of online offerings for streaming concerts. Here are the best ones this week coming up: It’s worth noting that many of these streams have charities tied in, so please don’t forget to try and donate whatever you can to the worthy causes.

WHAT’S COMING UP:

Weekdays on the 101WKQX Facebook page at 12pm CST and 8pm CST you can enjoy Quarantine Concerts with some of the biggest names in alternative. We have had everyone in there from Panic! At the Disco, the Offispring, the 1975, Cold War Kids, and many more who can all enjoy on-demand anytime here on 101WKQX.COM.

Dropkick Murphys were one of the first band’s to-do fully live streamed no-fans performance when their annual St. Patrick’s Day show in their hometown of Boston was cancelled. Now the boys have uped the anty with the Boss. The Murphs will be joined by Bruce Springsteen for a special empty Fenway Park performance on May 29th. Cue you doing an impression of every character in ‘the Depaerted’.

WHAT YOU CAN WATCH RIGHT NOW:

Ben Gibbard of Death Cab For Cutie for months now (yeah, that’s how long this has been going on) has been doing solo acoustic  shows on Youtube featuring covers, deep cuts, and hit songs from his band’s catalog. He even penned a stressed-out quarantine anthem.  Here he is performing it on the Late Show.

Foo Fighters have rocked the world over and over, but until we get to see them at Wrigley Field , check out this epic show they delivered in the UK in 2008 at Wembley Stadium.

Seperately, Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins joined Dan from Bastille, Simon from Biffy Clyro, Ben from Royal Blood, YUNGBLUD, Rag’n’Bone Man, Chris Martin from Coldplay and more join together virtually to cover Foo Fighter’s Times Like These from their respective homes to raise money for BBC Children in Need, Comic Relief and the WHO’s COVID-19-Solidarity Response Fund. You can watch that here and yes, it’s ok to cry while watching it:

Looking for the louder side? Metallica have been offering a lot of complete shows on YouTube every Monday from their lengthy career including a very special set from their early days at Chicago’s beloved Metro in 1983.
