India’s covid-19 pandemic situation is going grim with each passing day, breaking records with surging cases. As we sail through the rough waters, there is an imminent fear and state of haplessness all around. While some are attending to our loved ones, others are combating the increasing anxiety through newfound hobbies and music is one of those! There is a seismic shift induced by the pandemic in the music industry making it opt for live streams and virtual concerts over on the ground shows. While some artists are renting personal studios or are creating music from their homes, others are betting for venues and telecasting live performances with limited audience from there. Some have devised totally unique ways to thrill audiences by tapping on virtual reality live streams as seen in American rapper Travis Scott’s Fortnite concert. That VR concert garnered the attention of a whopping 12 million Fortnite fans and is hoping for a return this year. So are you waiting for the most exciting live streams currently ongoing? Here are our picks for the month.
