The Foo Fighters frontman and the former Fab Four are set to lead this weekend livestream events with performances as part of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.

AceShowbiz - Dave Grohl and Sir Paul McCartney will perform as part of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band livestream celebration on Saturday, June 20, 2020.

The band is taking its New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival Midnight Preserves jam session online in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and a host of big names have signed on to be part of the show from the comfort of their homes.

As well as Grohl and McCartney, the gig will feature Arcade Fire, Elvis Costello, Dave Matthews, and Beck.

The Round Midnight Preserves stream will begin at 8 P.M. ET on the Preservation Hall Foundation's website, as well as on the band's YouTube, Facebook and Twitch pages. It will benefit Spotify's COVID-19 Music Relief fund.

Meanwhile, Peter Yarrow and Judy Collins will be among the performers taking part in a virtual music and environmental activism festival staged in place of late folk legend Pete Seeger's annual event. The late singer/songwriter launched the two-day Clearwater summer bash in New York's Hudson Valley in the late 1990s to raise funds for his conservational group, the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, but due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year's 2020 show will be going digital.

Billed as "The Virtual Great Hudson River Revival: An Epic Stream to Save the River", the 12-hour livestream on Saturday, June 20, 2020 will also feature sets by singers Tom Chapin and the Chapin Sisters, Guy Davis, Kyle Tigges, The Mammals, and John McCutcheon among many others, starting from 11 A.M. ET.
