COVID-19 has taken a toll on almost every industry imaginable, but one of the most suffered is the music world. While independents continue to fight for survival, COVID-safe festivals begin to roll out, and the nightlife industry maintains a sense of hope for a brighter and busier future, other companies are thinking of new ways to keep the music industry alight and keep the fans content.

Enter Bandsintown, a new Netflix-style subscription service bringing concerts to your home. For just $9.99 USD a month, the platform will provide over 25 live-streamed gigs a month alongside a live Q&A chat with your favorite bands.

Between January and February, Bandsintown is set to host the likes of Little Dragon, Phoebe Bridgers, Chromeo, Empress Of, Fleet Foxes, a Toro y Moi DJ set, and many more yet to be announced. What’s more, the subscription service is also giving new customers a free trial period to see if watching a live gig from the comfort of your (very worn in) sofa is right for you. Everything is served up in HD quality with Hi-Fi sound, and the content is supported on all devices.

More information about Bandsintown’s livestreams can be found on its website, where you can also sign up for the subscription.
