Daft Punk "Live at the Sports Arena" IG Stream

It's time to get nostalgic tonight courtesy of Daft Punk! Shout out to Glenjamn who has decided to share his live DVD recording of Daft Punk's performance on July 21, 2007, at the now-defunct L.A. Sports Arena during their Alive 2007 tour. Due to some stipulations on how the Daft Punk content is handled, it was decided that the performance would be streamed via Instagram Live at 7 p.m. tonight to avoid fans ripping the performance for illegal use or copyright claims that would kill the stream. Click below to watch on your phone or your computer below to experience Daft Punk live tonight!

Hotel Cafe to Host UnCancelled Music Festival

The music community has been hit hard during the COVID-19 crisis. As a small, independently-owned venue, The Hotel Café is no exception to that. Music venues across the world have had to close their doors with no idea of when—or if—they’ll be able to reopen. It’s an uncertain time for everyone. In an effort to preserve the culture of live music, and in an effort to support their staff and community of artists, The Hotel Café has partnered with the UnCancelled Music Festival through StageIt, where the Hollywood music venue will have a branded, featured virtual stage running from Thursday, April 2 through Thursday, April 9, where fans can pay what they want to check it out. Hamish Anderson, Colbie Caillat, Zane Carney, William Fitzsimmons, Lili Kershaw, Emily Kinney, Meiko, JP Saxe, Vincint, and more are scheduled to perform.

You can also visit the link to The Hotel Café's COVID-19 Relief Fund donation page to support the venue directly as well. 100% of the proceeds benefit their staff. Some L.A. debuts or intimate shows that The Hotel Café has hosted in the past include performances by Adele, Band of Skulls, Gary Clark Jr., Leonard Cohen, Hozier, Michael Kiwanuka, The Lumineers, Bruno Mars, John Mayer, Mumford and Sons, Katy Perry, Damien Rice, Ed Sheeran, Sia, and more.
