Level Red COVID-19 restrictions have slowed down live shows, but music lovers need not worry; there are a number of virtual concerts, from both local acts like Kim Dawson and the Colorado Symphony and national artists including Dua Lipa, Billy Strings and the Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band. Here’s our list of the best online concerts this weekend:

British singer Dua Lipa‘s virtual concert Studio 2054 is a kaleidoscopic rocket-fueled journey through time, space, mirror balls, roller discos, bucket hats, belting beats and more.
