LIVE NOW:
This summer’s music festivals are cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic—but you can tune into a ten-concert online festival this Friday, May 8 starting at 7 p.m. ET, right here.
URGNT, a music collective put together by Mark Marczyk of Lemon Bucket Orkestra, has partnered with Music Together to put on this online festival to help support artists and bring music to fans, despite the circumstances. Maclean’s is supporting these concerts. Here’s how you can support URGNT.
