The Nashville, Tenn., band’s Aug. 9 concert at London’s Shepherd’s Bush will be webcast globally on Vevo and YouTube, a spokesman for American Express told The Associated Press.

Armisen, who left “Saturday Night Live” earlier this year, is also a drummer and has previously directed music videos.

It’s the 13th streamed concert for “Unstaged,” which pairs top music acts with notable directors. The last installment was a stream for Vampire Weekend directed by Steve Buscemi.
