The artists and bands taking to online platforms to play their music include US metalcore band Code Orange, who told Newsweek that they had plans to livestream their show from an empty venue.

"We ... try to give everyone the show we've been working so hard on, and turn this negative to at least a little bit of a positive or something enjoyable for people who like heavy music," drummer and vocalist Jami Morgan told Newsweek.
Other artists are keeping it simple by performing over Instagram Live, with rapper Gnash playing an acoustic set over the social media platform last week.
