If your Netflix roster is getting stale and you’re missing live music, we’ve got some great news for you. This weekend, there’s a big benefit concert being held online and it will feature some of the world’s most popular artists.
The iHeartRadio Living Room Concert is aiming to raise funds for coronavirus relief efforts and the night promises to be full of talent. Featured performances by Alicia Keys, Billie Eilish, Mariah Carey, Tim McGraw, Billie Joe Armstrong, Camila Cabello, Dave Grohl, H.E.R., and more. Of course, because we’re all in isolation, the performances will be filmed remotely.
