LiveXLive also announced today that Global Citizen and World Health Organization's "One World: Together At Home" historic special broadcast, taking place on Saturday, April 18, 2020, would join LiveXLive's "Music Lives" schedule.
Starting on Friday, April 17, 2020, fans around the world can watch the 48 hours of non-stop livestreaming of over 50 performances on LiveXLive.com and its apps, the TikTok official account and the LiveXLive official TikTok account. Breaking typical festival structure, Music Lives 2020 will flip the script by streaming all artist performances from artists' living rooms, backyards, private studios or local hometowns. Music Lives will also include quarantine-relevant programming around wellness, mindfulness, health safety, and more from industry-leading experts and artists. Throughout each performance, fans will be able to engage, chat and share with other viewers and the community.
"The world, including the music industry, has been turned on its head over the past six weeks," said Dermot McCormack, president of LiveXLive. "Community and connection are at the heart of live music and it's our mission with Music Lives to bring that heart to the comfort of people's homes around the world during this time of 'social distancing'. It's uncertain how long these circumstances will last and this multi-day, multi-genre festival can become more than a one-and-done event to an extended period of meaningful programming. Together with TikTok and these incredible artists, we'll unite our global village with music."
"TikTok is proud to partner with LiveXLive to create an immersive, multi-day live-stream experience on our platform with #musiclives and to support artists, songwriters, and music professionals through MusiCares," said Corey Sheridan, Head of Music Partnerships and Content Operations, North America at TikTok. "We are a platform committed to inspiring joy and creativity and this event is an extension of our mission during this difficult time."
Fans will have the opportunity to donate to MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund while streaming "Music Lives" in support of those in the music community affected by the current climate. Each "Music Lives" partner will also contribute to support the industry at large.
"This is a trying time for everyone, including music fans and artists," added Robert Ellin, CEO and Chairman of LiveXLive. "And as music lovers ourselves, it was so important to partner with organizations like MusiCares and TikTok that truly care about the well-being of the music community that brings so much joy to the world."
