Watch All the At-Home Concerts Musicians Have Shared Online, Right Here and Now

Musical stars are making sure those practicing social distancing [1] feel a little less alone — and a whole lot more entertained. On March 16, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin kicked off a new virtual concert series [2] that encourages artists to put on live, at-home performances for fans who are self-isolating amid the coronavirus pandemic. John Legend [3] took the baton and livestreamed a performance on Instagram shortly after Chris, and other singers like Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello, and Charlie Puth will be getting in on the action in the coming weeks, too.

Officially dubbed Together, At Home: Who-Global Citizen Solidarity Sessions [4], the initiative is presented by the World Health Organisation and Global Citizen. Other artists, including Keith Urban [5], Pink, and Rob Thomas, are following Martin's lead by sharing their own mini concerts not technically associated with the series, and we expect even more to catch on and do the same. The best part of these gigs? They're totally free to watch, and you have a front-row seat from the comfort of your couch. Cosy up and watch 'em all ahead.
