Wave “Hasta La Vista” to 2020 and celebrate ushering in the new year with streams unfolding the rest of the week, from virtual raves across the globe to band reunions to burlesque to drag cabaret. Shake your hips and pour your favorite libation, toasting your pod irl or in virtual reality when the ball drops. There are also a couple drive-in shows if dancing on your hood or truckbed is the way you want to celebrate. Do you and stay safe so we can all head into 2021 ready to support our music community.
