In need of your musical fix? We’ve rounded up a list of some of the best live streamed gigs that you can enjoy this week, direct from your sofa. As many of these events are announced – and sometimes rescheduled – at extremely short notice, we’ll try to keep these posts as accurate as possible. In the meantime, if you’re a band or artist and would like us to include your stream in an upcoming playlist, please contact our music editor.
With this year’s festival being unfortunately cancelled, Manchester’s Punk Fest have put together something special. On Friday 27 March there will be acoustic sets from some artists who were on the line up – featuring The Flatliners, Bar Stool Preachers, Chewing on Tinfoil, Erica Freas, Me Rex and Cultdreams. You can catch this on the festival’s instagram page from 8pm.
Following on from the success of last weekend’s session, singer-songwriter Jake Fletcher is back live in his studio on Saturday evening. Available via the Visit Saddleworth Facebook page – join Jake as he tackles all the requests you can throw at him.
The legendary Jimmy’s continue their Isolation Gigs featuring a solo session by Faith from Manchester’s PINS band. Joining the likes of Vistas, The Amazon’s Matt Thomson and Fuzzy Sun who’ve already played on Jimmy’s livestream bill – we look forward to hearing tracks old and new – particularly from forthcoming album Hot Slick due out on May 29.
*This was due to take place on Tue 24 March but has since been rescheduled to next Tuesday 31 March.
