A lot of bands have been doing live streams to make up for the fact that they couldn't tour. I expect this will be necessary for maybe another year depending on how restrictions are loosened as the population gets vaccinated.
I've watched a few but missed a lot. The first one I watched was Imperial Age (Russia) at the end of April. They were about to start a tour of the UK when the pandemic hit. Three hours, free show (though, out of donations and merch sales during the show, they made about US$ 11,000 for a show that cost them $2,000 to set up, not bad!). The show is not available for streaming, but they did make a DVD that's available now. Steelchaos 2020 was the best: 18 Finnish black metal bands over two days. The sound and filming was just like watching a DVD. Very impressive that they could have so many angles during a live performance. I also watched Obituary play Slowly We Rot.
Anyway, there are more bands planning live streams and some that are still available for streaming. Use this thread to list the ones you know about. If it's upcoming, mention the date. In either case, don't forget the link!
Obituary: obituarylive.com/
Obituary played Slowly We Rot, Cause of Death and a studio jam session over the course of three weekends. The events have passed, but you can still stream them until January 1, 2021. The streams are not free, but not super expensive.
Steelfest: steelfest.fi/
This is the gang that put Steelchaos 2020 together. It is not available for streaming anymore, but they did make a DVD with "highlights" (why not the whole thing, I don't know...) They actually work by monthly subscription (EUR 9.90 per month) and they have more live streams in the pipeline. You can cancel your subscription or set it on manual renewal if you don't want to do this on a recurring basis.
