Various artists to live stream virtual concerts during quarantine

While essential front-line workers such as doctors and police officers help us stay safe at home, non-essential entertainers have found their own ways to keep up the spirits of their fans and provide some distraction — and charity — during these times. Some artists have teamed up with various charities to raise donations for those in need and keep us sane at the same time.

Offset and Friends

To benefit the Atlanta Community Food Bank, Offset, Young Thug, Rich the Kid and Saint Jhn have teamed up for a single-night event on April 29 from 6-8 p.m. Viewers will be able to enjoy the rappers’ music live via the Oculus Venues app and Offset’s Facebook page. In this one-night-only charity event, viewers can donate to the food bank using the donate button on the rapper’s Facebook page. For every $1 donated, four meals will be provided to the seniors, families and children of Atlanta. Raised in metro Atlanta, Offset aims to give back to his community and has already donated 200,000 meals.
