The Black Keys will be playing a Spotify virtual concert.
If you're not comfortable heading back into the crowd at a concert just yet, Spotify on Wednesday announced a new virtual concert series featuring artists like The Black Keys and Leon Bridges.
"These shows will allow fans to experience and support their favorite artists while immersing themselves in a performance-style experience they crave," Spotify said in a blog post.
Tickets to the concerts -- prerecorded livestreams in the 40- to 75-minute range -- will cost $15 and be available at spotify.live. The series will run from May to June.
Here's the schedule:
- May 27: The Black Keys.
- June 3: Rag'n'Bone Man.
- June 10: Bleachers.
- June 17: Leon Bridges.
- June 24: Girl in Red.
Spotify virtual concert tickets and start time
Spotify said that if you don't have a Spotify account, you can still buy a ticket and sign up for a free account.
Head to spotify.live to get tickets for the concerts you want to watch. They're available across multiple times zones, but you can watch only during the time you buy a ticket for -- so choose wisely.
In the US, concerts will start at 5 p.m. PT/ 8 p.m. ET and 8 p.m. PT/ 11 p.m. ET, and fans will be able to join the livestream about an hour before the show starts.
You can purchase only one ticket per Spotify account, and you can't share or trade tickets, or give someone else your login to watch as well. Spotify also noted in its FAQ that tickets are nonrefundable.
