Another weekend means another round of excellent live music — all streamed directly into your front room.
Fundraising is high on the agenda this time round, with various online gigs and festivals looking to raise vital cash for a range of causes, from keeping venues afloat to supporting those doing vital work in the community during the outbreak.
Elsewhere, we have a musical exploration of south London, while a chart-topping veteran drops in for an at-home performance.
Here's where to watch it all unfold.
Action All Areas: Greenpeace
Environmental charity Greenpeace is usually a big presence at UK music festivals — especially Glastonbury, where it hosts its own area. This year, it’s moving things online with a three-day festival, starting on Thursday. Tim Burgess, Georgia, Arlo Parks and Rodrigo y Gabriela are among those on the line-up.
Thursday-Saturday, actionallareas.org
Last Night A DJ Saved My Life
Back in May, the Last Night A DJ Saved My Life charity raised more than £60,000 with its Set For Love live-stream marathon. It’s back this weekend, with Carl Cox and Eats Everything headlining.
