Twenty One Pilots and Panic! At The Disco are taking part in an online festival this weekend - PopBuzz

24 April 2020, 14:40

PlayOn Fest is being put on to raise money for WHO's COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.

Twenty One Pilots, Panic! At The Disco, Paramore and many more bands are all joining forces in an online festival for charity.

With coronavirus being named a global health crisis and countries all around in lockdown, festivals, tours and gigs that were scheduled to take place this summer have, in many cases, been cancelled. In fact, reports suggest that concerts won't take place again until "fall 2021 at the earliest". With that in mind, it may be a while until you see your faves perform live again.

Fear not though. Artists are coming up with new and inventive ways to keep fans entertained during quarantine and there is a new virtual festival taking place this weekend (Apr 24-26). PlayOn Fest is raising money for WHO's COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund and it features an array of past performances from some of the biggest bands in the world right now.
