Metal band livestreams entire concert free on Twitch due to coronavirus Twitch: codeorangeofficialCode Orange livestreamed a full concert for free on Twitch after their album release show was called off due to ongoing coronavirus concerns. Having released their new full-length album, \u2018Underneath,\u2019 on March 13, Code Orange was set to perform in front of a hometown crowd to celebrate. Due to the concerns around COVID-19, however, the show was scrapped at the last minute. Rather than canceling their plans entirely, the American hardcore band took to the stage in Pittsburgh regardless, and performed in an empty arena while thousands of fans tuned in from all around the world on Twitch. \u201cThis show was going to be a cathartic release of all the hard work that has been put in over our band\u2019s long career,\u201d a March 14 statement read as the band announced the cancellation of its show. Instead, they revealed plans to perform \u201cin an empty venue\u201d while live on Twitch. Taking to the global stage the next day, the hardcore band performed for just under an hour as more than 10,000 unique viewers tuned in. Rattling off heavy hitters from the new record, the performance was complemented by a high-budget production with multiple camera angles, special effect overlays to help set the tone, as well as all of the other lighting and visual effects you\u2019d expect to see at a concert.

We have what I would call a \u2018little bit of a solution\u2019 that I think will be pretty cool. But yeah, it\u2019s been hell.\u201d Depending largely on ticket sales and merchandise revenue, not being able to tour and promote the latest record would be a huge hit for any band, though it seems Code Orange has a backup plan in place. Perhaps more shows will be streamed on Twitch soon in order for fans to show their support. You can listen to the brand new Code Orange album in full through your streaming platform of choice, and buy merchandise to support the artists too. Code Orange aren\u2019t the only musicians to take to the internet in the wake of the coronavirus. British music label, Defected Records, also recently announced an entire \u2018virtual\u2019 festival that will be taking place on March 20 to make up for a lack of live shows while people around the world go into quarantine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
