Like many music festivals dealing with the uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic, Atlanta-based indie rock festival Shaky Knees has taken their content online. The festival, originally scheduled for this weekend, has teamed up with My Morning Jacket to kick off the digital event on Friday with the release of the band’s full set from Shaky Knees 2016. 

In addition to the opening set from My Morning Jacket on Friday night, the rest of the weekend will feature footage of past performances by The Strokes, The National, Cage the Elephant, Beck, Car Seat Headrest, Dr. Dog, Foals, St. Paul and the Broken Bones, and many more. 

The event will also benefit Crew Nation, a nonprofit powered by The Music Forward Foundation, helping crew members in the live music industry, and the Atlanta Community Food Bank

The videos will be available each night starting at 8 p.m. from May 1-3 at ShakyKneesFestival.com.
