Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, David Guetta, Twenty One Pilots, Cardi B, Janelle Monae, Korn, Green Day, Anderson Paak, Royal Blood, The War On Drugs, Charlie Puth, Slipknot… The poster is prestigious and eclectic. After Lady Gaga's “One World Together At Home” festival a week ago, it's time for PlayOn Fest this weekend. The objective is also to raise funds - this time for the World Health Organization (WHO) - but the content is not at all the same, since here it is not a question of watching a succession of confined lives but real concerts already recorded but never broadcast.
From this Friday at 6 p.m. until Monday at 6 p.m., you will be able to attend for three days the concerts of 65 international artists on the Parisien site. This virtual festival was imagined and organized by one of the three major world labels, Warner Music, which explains why there are only house artists. But there is something for everyone, from rap to metal, stars, cult groups, discoveries, captured all over the world, from Coachella to the Sydney Opera House, and of all durations, of a song at one o'clock…
VIDEO. Discover new concerts for three days
Rapper L. Cool J. kicks off the festival at 6 pm this Friday, followed by 50 minutes of an “intimate” show by Ed Sheeran recorded in Austin in 2017. The program is worth the detour. We will be able to see Coldplay during a show in 2017 in Sao Paulo, Bruno Mars the same year at the Apollo Theater in Harlem ... The only frenchie on the poster, David Guetta, was also filmed in 2017 at Tomorrowland, the largest electro festival in the world, in Belgium.
Many of these unreleased concerts date from 2019. Several were filmed at the Coachella festival, such as Janelle Monae, Weezer (with Tears For Fears as guests), Wiz Khalifa, Portugal The Man… Also in 2019, we will be able to attend the show organized by the Korn group for the release of their latest album, the Twenty One Pilots show at the Lollapalooza festival in front of 100,000 Brazilians, Cardi B and Andra Day in New York, Green Day in Seville during an MTV or Flaming Lips show at the opera of Sydney celebrating 20 years of the album "Soft Bulletin".

Take a good look at the times (adding 6 hours of time difference), so as not to miss the passage of your idols. Some artists will be broadcast twice during the festival, but after the PlayOn Fest their performances will be removed from YouTube. You will only have the festival t-shirts to buy and your eyes to cry.
