These Fans Missed Their Favourite Band So Much They Held A Virtual Tribute Show

Streetlight Manifesto may not be a name you’re familiar with, but if you are, chances are you’re a pretty devoted fan.

The band which resists the confinement of any one genre, are generally regarded as a Ska-Punk band, and they have some of the most committed fans in the world, which they proved this week with their virtual tribute concert held from bedrooms and basements across the world via the magic of Zoom.

Since the act themselves have been forced to cancel and postpone their planned shows for 2020, fans organised to lift each others spirits with renditions of their favourite Streetlight tracks in an online concert. Opening up about how they first discovered the band, and sharing messages of love and support for the community, there were even parody versions of tracks performed to make lyrics more fitting to the current situation we’re all facing.

Although trolls managed to interrupt the show for a short time, moderators were quick to resolve the situation performers continued to rock out in spectacular fashion regardless.

You can watch the show here and you can find Streetlight Manifesto on any great streaming service.
