New Year’s Eve 2020: The Best NEW YEAR’S LIVE STREAMING Concerts
New Year’s Eve 2020: The Best Live Streaming Concerts
The BEST available New Year’s Eve Live Streaming Concerts for 2020.
UPDATED: 12/28/20
Well, that’s a wrap! 2020 was a year like any other, uneventful to the end…
Right.
In typical 2020 fashion, nothing will be familiar or normal about New Year’s Eve.
For Festy GoNuts, New Year’s Eve means LIVE MUSIC! There’s absolutely nothing like ringing in the New Year with several hundred or thousand elated and ecstatic fans, smiling as we are all covered in confetti, champagne, and kisses!
But, if there is ONE thing we’ve all gotten pretty good at in 2020, and that is ADAPTING!
So, instead of being shoulder-to-shoulder with a huge group, we’ll hop on a zoom room with our closest friends, share in a NYE stream, and DANCE LIKE EVERYONE’S WATCHING in our living rooms!
Here are some of the BEST LIVE STREAMING CONCERTS available for NEW YEAR’S EVE 2020:

After 25 Years, Phish plans to use their NYE stream to settle the score on a long-standing tie in the Band vs. Audience chess match of the mid-90s!
While airing, in its entirety, the Madison Square Garden New Year’s Eve show of 1995, the band will also be engaged in a heated battle of wits with the fans.
Fans can join Chess.com to vote on the ‘Audience Move.’ During the set-breaks, the band will offer commentary and review of the game, as it’s happening.
In true “Dinner and a Movie” form, the band is also offering two “Chess Cheese Board” recipes to pair with the show, and donations throughout the broadcast will go directly to Phish’s Water Wheel Foundation!

New Year’s Eve 2020 Live Streaming Concerts
Let’s just face it, as with everything else this year, New Year’s Eve 2020 is going to be a much different experience than many of us are used to.
Instead of crowds of people and live shows, we’ll most likely be in our living rooms with a small group, possibly zooming with others, while sharing in a live streaming concert.
Our advice? Embrace it! It’s all part of the ride.
Pick a New Year’s Eve Live Streaming Concert, grab the bubbly, put on your sparkly dress and Dance Like Everyone’s Watching!
We hope you enjoyed this list of New Year’s Eve 2020 Live Streaming Concerts! Whatever you choose to do, have yourself a safe and wonderful New Year’s Eve 2020!
We’ll see you on the flip side!
