Q: Are people performing in physical music venues?
A: No. This is a livestreaming, virtual festival. Venues curate their lineups. Every artist booked will "go live" from their home. No music venues are open that we know of - anywhere in the world. This is why we are doing this. Our mission is to help out the music venues and artists affected so they can stay afloat
Q: What streaming platform are you using?
A: The festival is hosted on StageIt
Q: How much are tickets?
A: Every stage will be 'pay what you want' (minimum of 1 note (10 cents)) and fans can tip during the livestreamed show. Tips show up on the screen in real time inside the chat box.
Q: Do I have to buy a ticket to each show?
A: Yes, this is how the StageIt platform works. But each ticket is a minimum of 10 cents. Remember, every ticket purchase and tip supports the artists and music venues you love along with MusiCares Emergency Financial Assistance fund.
Q: What equipment do I need to perform?
A: A solid wifi connection with at least 4mbps upload speed. A webcam and a decent mic/interface setup.
Q: How do I attend the festival as a fan
A: Click on the Stages page and click through to the stage you want to watch. You will be directed to the Stage on StageIt.
