Maybe it took a pandemic to introduce you to the joys of streaming live music at home, but it’s pretty clear virtual concertgoing is here to stay for so many reasons. You get high-quality audio and an unfettered view of the stage without having beer spilled on you or staring at the back of a stranger’s head for three hours.
For streaming live music, nugs.net has a huge catalog of shows and exclusive access to livestreams. It’s equally impressive that they’ve been quietly pioneering getting live music to fans in all its amped-up glory for nearly three decades.
Now, you can get an annual subscription to nugs.net for just $50 — which is a whopping $80 off the regular price of $130. That’s way less than the cost of an average concert ticket.
Go to a different live show every night
From stadium thumpers to intimate sets, spanning from Phish to Pearl Jam to Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, they’ve got more than 25,000 full-length concerts (and growing) recorded in soundboard quality. Even if you never packed up a van to follow your favorite band across the country, you can relive legendary gigs from 30 minutes ago or 30 years ago.
Get velvet-rope access
Subscribers also get 15% off livestreams, CDs and downloads in the app or web player. For upcoming concerts and special events, you can livestream shows around the country to wherever you are. The pay-per-view content is available for 48 hours after purchase, so you can still have an early night and catch a late show.
Support live music
Even though nugs.net is a great deal at $50, you can feel good about your purchase because they work directly with artists when they publish content — which means artists receive around three times more than through other music streaming sites — and your order includes a donation to the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund. It’s pretty much your ticket to rock on.
