American Football headlining a coronavirus relief festival in Minecraft

Adult-emo come-backers American Football are headlining a virtual festival Nether Meant in video-game Minecraft on Saturday, April 11 (at 6 p.m. New York time, midnight Berlin time, 7 a.m. on Sunday Tokyo time). The fest takes place in a fictional space called Elsewither, which is based on the Brooklyn venue Elsewhere, NME reports. American Football are joined by Anamanaguchi, Baths, and HANA. AM's Mike Kinsella said “I’m looking forward to (finally) being able to prove to my 7-year-old son that I do, indeed, have a job”. People can watch within the game, or on Twitch. They’re also selling VIP passes to the concert, which offers “special VIP areas in-game” and in-game merch. Proceeds from the VIP passes will go to Good360’s COVID–19 relief efforts.
