South Side Story

Agam, Thaikuddam Bridge, Masala Coffee...the lineup of BookMyShow’s online concert South Side Story comprises many greats. Their fans — or anyone with an inkling about indie music in India — need no introduction to their music, so here is what you do need to know: show starts at 6 pm on August 23 on BookMyShow’s live platform, and can be streamed in India, Malaysia and Singapore. Passes are on bookyshow.com

Stream Room

Skill Box described its newest series of livestreams as a “three-day party”. The lineup backs it up, with the likes of EDM leaders Midival Punditz and folk-fusion band The Kutle Khan Project comprising the grand finale on August 23. Other artistes, spread over the evenings of August 21 and 22, are Delhi-based Kaya Trehan, Kavya Komorebi, Curtain Blue and Gaurav Malaker aka Blot! For more details and to RSVP, check the @skillboxofficial Instagram page.

The Casteless Collective

The popular Tamil indie act will be performing at its first-ever virtual concert next week. It has been organised jointly by Virtual Now, Troque and Brown Post, and kicks off at 8 pm on August 28. There is still time, but you might not want to miss out on this, so visit www.virtualnow.in for the passes and other details.

The Spotted Hyena
