As the uptake of social distancing continues in this time of uncertainty, many artists from across the globe have taken to social media to give the fans what they want, streaming performances live from their living rooms.

The recent ban placed on public gatherings over 100 people have also sparked local venues, event organisers and promoters to take to the internet to help support fans and artists and tackle the unprecedented loss of revenue they're facing.

If you're practising social distancing, we got you're back. We've collated some of our fave live-streamed performances coming to a screen near you (we'll keep this page updated with the most recent discoveries). Let's make the best of a bad situation hey!
