The problem with live streaming is that the music doesn’t generate as much revenue as touring does, but fans get access to intimate performances that they might not otherwise be able to see. Live shows are the way artists leave a lasting impression on fans. If the audience is engaged, it makes the show unforgettable. Many people think the future of music is about experiences, not necessarily songs. The future of music will be all about experiences. So, why not take advantage of this trend?
Music Lives features music from artists across all genres. You can catch performances from artists such as J Balvin, Arcangel, and Celese. The 48-hour event will begin at 7:00 p.m. EST, and you can watch it on Facebook and Twitter. After watching the concerts, you can also catch the best of Motley Crue via Instagram.
