Fans can tune in this morning at THEFADER.COM/FORT for today's line-up. Later this afternoon The FADER FORT Digital will announce their April 1 line-up.
The complete two day line-up is listed below and all performances will be available for 24 hours only at www.thefader.com/fort.
"It's been amazing to see the response not just from the artist community, but our brand partners too," says Rob Stone, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of The FADER. "Now more than ever is the time for the music community and our trusted partners to come together to support one another."
To kick off the charitable giving aspect of Digital FORT, TRULY Hard Seltzer has committed $20,000 to Sweet Relief Musicians Fund. As a brand that celebrates originality, creativity, and flavor TRULY understands how music and entertainment can bring people together. To champion the music and entertainment industry, Truly's donation will provide financial assistance to all types of career musicians and music industry workers who are directly affected by COVID-19.
&pizza is also encouraging folks to think charitably by texting #FADERFEEDS to 200-03 which will prompt the user to donate pizza to local hospital workers on the front lines. Those who participate will also be entered into a giveaway to win $331 worth of pizza as a thank you for their act of kindness. Since 3/14, &pizza has donated 13,000+ pizzas to those heroes, and looks forward to upping that number with the support of The FADER's audience.
With the nation now on lockdown, The FADER, along with dozens of musicians have come together to bring FADER FORT to your living room. Don't miss this highly anticipated, one-time, two day digital broadcast event.
