Social distancing measures have us all going insane, and with live sports cancelled for the foreseeable future, it’s a bit of a bore to be stuck at home and unsure of what to watch. Thankfully, musicians spanning all genres are keeping the public entertained with a variety of online shows and performances that you wouldn’t get a chance to experience otherwise. Some artists are really going all-out with these live events, and Post Malone is the next big star with a show you don’t want to miss.

This show will be a bit different from most of Post Malone’s performances, and that’s not because it’s solely available online. It’s actually a tribute to the legendary rock band Nirvana, and Post is set to perform both hits and fan favorites from the group during the show.

The concert will be available for free on Post Malone’s YouTube channel, so you can tune in from the device of your choice with ease.
