Taking place May 1st-3rd at 8:00 p.m. EDT each day, the streaming event will feature limited-time releases of past Shaky Knees performances. Kicking things off tonight (Friday) will be My Morning Jacket’s full headlining set from 2016. Saturday, May 2nd will feature footage from The Strokes, Phoenix, Cage the Elephant, Queens of the Stone Age, Incubus, Interpol, Tenacious D, Car Seat Headrest, Eagles of Death Metal, and more. Finally, tune in on Sunday, May 3rd to catch archived sets from Beck, The National, Jimmy Eat World, The Avett Brothers, Foals, Dr. Dog, Manchester Orchestra, and others.

The virtual event will benefit Crew Nation, Music Forward Foundation’s global relief fund for touring crew members impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, as well as the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Watch MMJ’s set below, and head to the Shaky Knees website for all the footage.
