– lockdown awards
Trey Songz will host LiveXLive’s Lockdown Awards, which will feature presenters including Busta Rhymes, Alex Rose, Meg Donnelly, Kiiara, Infinity Song and Tigirlily and raise badly needed funds for independent live music venues, streaming Dec. 11 at the event’s website.
The Lockdown Awards will recognize the best of content produced during the COVID-forced shutdown and include a virtual red carpet pre-show, VIP digital meet and greets with nominees and winners, a sweepstakes and VIP merch.
The event, unique in the award show space, scored a pretty impressive lineup of performers, too, including Wiz Khalifa, Icona Pop, SOFI TUKKER, Ally Brooke and Avenue Beat, plus Lauv and Conan Gray performing their hit “Fake.”
“For our creative community, this historic time has been catalytic. Seeing opportunities rather than limitations has allowed the music community to do what it has always done – lead us to new grounds artistically, emotionally and technically. The Lockdown Awards serves as our celebration of the triumph over adversity and the evolving relationship between artists, creators and fans across the digital landscape; a relationship that will be forever changed for the better as a result. We at LivexLive look forward to celebrating and elevating this community as streaming and live events continue to evolve into innovative and exciting convergent creative content for fans,” states Garrett English, Chief Creative Officer, LiveXLive
