The Dead Kennedys: WWJD?
The concert footage is scheduled for the bands’ official channels on a weekly basis for fans around the world to enjoy, YouTube announced today. Many of the groups are using this live footage to raise funds and awareness for COVID-19 related causes.

Acts are varied as The National and Genesis are also offering free music as more than a quarter of the world’s population stays at home and the virus death toll climbs to more than 91,000 worldwide.

Radiohead starts April 9 at 5:00 p.m. ET with the first in a series of archived concerts. The opener is a premiere of Dublin - Live From A Tent, recorded in 2000 on the Kid A album tour. Each week, more of the Radiohead Public Archive will be revealed.
Pink Floyd has long been showing short-form videos from its archives every Friday at 12:00 p.m. ET. From April 17, the British band will put out full concert films, starting with the relatively well-known Pulse, recorded in 1994 at the now-demolished venue of Earls Court, London, during The Division Bell Tour.

The National is now live every Monday, promising rare footage to benefit its live crew members after the cancellation of concerts because of the virus. More
