We are living in strange times. It’s also a very difficult time for (full-time) musicians: not being able to tour and give concerts. So they need other ways to stay in toch with their fans, that is why so many artists give virtual concerts this past year. So will modern melodic metal band Metalite who will give a virtual gig this August. The band has the following to say:
