It is Memorial Day Weekend and what should have been the official kick off of festival season in North America. Instead now we are left with more days indoors or socially distanced, half-open beaches around the country. Many of the festivals that would have taken place this weekend are instead going digital with DJs on their lineup contributing sets to the cause. This is also a matter of survival for many independent festivals, so be mindful of possible donations. Among those who will host digital events include Lightning In A Bottle, Groove Cruise, Elements and Mutek San Francisco. Defected will also host their final Friday of live streams.

And as always stay tuned to Stream Informer over the weekend.
