5 Reasons to Live Stream Concerts
Not long ago, words like quarantine and social distancing were uncommon. But COVID-19 changed the way the world operates and it greatly impacted the entertainment industry. As more and more restrictions were placed on group sizes, events, and how we interact in public, big and small entertainers alike were forced to find new ways to engage and entertain fans — from a distance.

Live stream concerts have become the latest craze and a means of interacting and engaging your audience without risking the health or wellness of yourself, your staff, or your fanbase. But health is just one of the reasons to live stream concerts. Here are 5 more.
#1. Connected in a Disconnected World
People feel socially disconnected now more than ever before. Live stream concerts create a sense of connected in this disconnected world that we all live in, allowing fans to come together (virtually) to enjoy a show.
DJs, bands, groups, and artists alike provide live stream concerts for fans creating a sense of communal spirit that fans both crave, and NEED right now.
#2. Live Events without the Risk
Live stream concerts allow for many of the same features and functions of a live event, without the risk of such an event. By producing a live stream concert, your fanbase will get to see and interact with your band without having to come together in a single location to enjoy the event.
Providing these “live” events via broadcast solutions such as Facebook Live or various other hosts including iHeartRadio and Instagram Live allow fans to enjoy a show without risking their own health.
This is actually extremely important to those fans that suffer from underlying health conditions and may not have been able to attend a truly live event even if COVID-19 were not a problem.
#3. Engage Fans & Boost Exposure
Social distancing has really put a lock on our ability to engage and entertain in person, but this doesn’t mean you can’t engage your fans and boost exposure for your band. Live stream concerts allow you to engage fans from any location in the world.
Fans are given the opportunity to enjoy a concert without having to leave their home and you’re able to uplift your community a little in a time of trial and tribulation.
#4. Interact in New Ways
Live stream concerts allow you to interact with fans in ways that you really never would have done in person at an event.
Whereas in-person events can result in fans and you being so busy and crazed with what’s happening that there’s really little room for interaction on a more personal level, live stream concerts allow you to interact in new ways.
Consider taking music requests from fans, chatting with fans, and even promoting some healthy interaction between fans in the audience for a truly engaging and interactive live stream event.
#5. Live Streaming Connects with Younger Generation
When you live stream concerts you connect with a generation that is most involved and engaged online. Today’s generation is all about Youtubers, Tik Tok, and various live streaming events that take place frequently online.
Providing live stream concerts reaches this audience in a way that they are already comfortable with and seeking to engage with entertainers with. It’s a double win for your band.
