Starting at 5pm PT / 8pm ET Friday, October 16

Fans can donate directly to the NIVA Emergency Relief Fund, which benefits independent venues in peril, on NIVA’s Official YouTube Channel now.

#SOSFEST is a three-day virtual music festival featuring exclusive original performances and content, streaming October 16 -18. Hosted by Reggie Watts, #SOSFEST features performances from 35+ artists, including an intimate set from Foo Fighters, and performances by Leon Bridges, Nathaniel Rateliff, Black Pumas, Miley Cyrus, Kelsea Ballerini, and more, recorded live from more than 25 independent concert venues across the United States.
