The end of 2020 could not come soon enough, am I right GDE readers?
This year has brought a lot of turmoil and nuttiness, and the biggest bummer is that we can’t even say goodbye to the mess that is 2020 and ring in the new year the way many of us usually would – at festivals, concerts, and raves.
It doesn’t mean we still can’t look forward and hope for a better 2021 and ring in the new year safely in our homes. With COVID-19 numbers skyrocketing in states around the country, stay-at-home orders, or some variation of restrictions are in place.
Once again, music and the artists within the community are coming in to save the day. Artists from around the world are live streaming their sets on New Year’s Eve so that even though we aren’t in the crowds dancing, we can still dance it out, and into, the new year.
There’s a whole lot of options out there to almost give you the festival feel of deciding which stage to go to within your living room. Here’s a list below, with dates, times, who is playing, and where to virtually find them. Wherever you end up on New Year’s Eve, stay safe, GDE fam. We can’t wait until we can hopefully all physically dance together again in 2021.
