MUSIC

March has been a huge month for new music releases within the Monster Music family. Hiphop staples ¡Mayday! came at us with their long awaited Minute To Midnight LP via Tech N9ne's Strange Music Inc label, while the hardest working in the game - Termanology, alongside Shortfyuz, gave us his Goya 3 album. Statik Selektah teamed up with Kota The Friend to produce To Kill A Sunrise in true and classic Statik style. Guapdad4000 faced his past, delivering the deep and heartfelt 1176 album, while Phresher and IDK dropped brand new singles "Still Got Da Juice" and "Just Like Martin" respectively, both accompanied by flawlessly produced music videos.

Spinnin’ Records' electronic duo Breathe Carolina heat up the dance floor with their new single and video for “23,” and Monster Energy’s latest signing in the dance music world, Illenium, teased details of a new album via EDM.com, beginning by unveiling the first single “First Time,” featuring Monster Energy Live On Location alumni Iann Dior.

2020 was a year of many things. It was the year we learned just how many things you can get delivered to your home. It was the year we all became phenomenal (or not!) home cooks and bartenders. It was the year of business-up-top, pajama-pants-below Zoom meetings. It was the year of dance challenges, bread baking, and DIY haircuts.

But most of all, 2020 was the year of the livestream.

At first, they kicked off as impromptu Facebook Live or Instagram Live performances that took place in artists’ living rooms. As the weeks and months went on, livestream performances exploded into full digital concert experiences…and no one elevated the experience more than Monster Energy Music with events like Monster Energy Outbreak Tour: LIVE ON LOCATION and The Up & Up Welcome Back Virtual Festival.

Here are some of our favorite livestream experiences to emerge from one of the strangest years ever…

Machine Gun Kelly joined Yungblood on stage in front of thousands of fans for a surprise performance at Vans Warped Tour’s 25^th Anniversary festival in Mountain View, California.
