Big Something announced a virtual New Year’s Eve run set for December 30 and 31. The North Carolina-based band will livestream from The Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh beginning at 9 p.m. ET/ 6 p.m. PT across a number of platforms including the JamBase Livestreams Calendar, nugs.tv and more.
The shows will stream for free but donations to the band and crew are welcomed. Big Something will also donate 25 percent of the proceeds to the Lincoln Theatre as part of the #saveourstages initiative.
Big Something guitarist and frontman Nick MacDaniels spoke about the NYE run and helping out their hometown venue in a statement. Read his words below:
New Year’s Eve at Lincoln Theatre has become one of our favorite traditions. And even though it’s gonna be a little different this year without our friends and fans joining us in person, we’re still really excited to make these shows happen virtually and help support our hometown music venue. There are so many great independent music venues across the country that really need support right now. We really appreciate everyone out there doing their part to help save live music.
