Musicians all over the world are canceling concert dates due to uncertain times of the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of our favorite spring music festivals have also canceled or postponed. But missing your favorite artist performing live and in person in order to help flatten the curve doesn’t necessarily mean you need to forgo your favorite tunes altogether. In an effort to raise spirits during this newfound era of social distancing, some of todays biggest stars are streaming virtual performances live from their living rooms.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe right thing to be doing is staying home and not buying too much toilet paper,\u201d joked Coldplay frontman Chris Martin during a 30-minute Instagram set on March 16. Famous friends like John Legend, Shawn Mendes and Charlie Puth couldn’t agree more, swiftly following suit with their own feel-good performances.<\/p>\n

As more and more artists turn to social media, we rounded up a list of the 8 most memorable virtual concerts so far \u2013 and where to watch them.<\/p>\n
