Live-stream concert Rufus in the movies: soundtrack songs

American-Canadian singer- songwriter Rufus Wainwright continues his career retrospective with a ticketed live-stream concert.

This time, he will explore his work on movie soundtracks, including his famous rendition of the Leonard Cohen classic Hallelujah for the 2001 animated film Shrek.

"But I also wrote songs for Disney, Brokeback Mountain and other mainstream and indie films, so here is a bit of a buffet," said the singer, who will be joined by British late-night talk show host James Corden.

WHEN: Tomorrow, 6am

ADMISSION: Advance tickets at US$20 (S$26.60) via bit.ly/3qyoyRL

The temple of Abu Simbel in Egypt is the stunning backdrop for a live-stream gig by Copenhagen- based experimental pop trio WhoMadeWho.

The free concert is organised by live-streaming media platform Cercle, which is best known for its streams of DJ sets and concerts, filmed and broadcast from unique locations around the world.

The date of the performance coincides with one of two annual solar alignments, where the dawn sun lights up the entire length of the temple's entrance corridor and the face of King Ramses II's statue inside the complex.

In pre-pandemic times, visitors from around the world would flock to the site to watch the phenomenon.

WHERE: Streamed via platforms such as Facebook and Twitch. Or experience it in virtual reality via Oculus.

WHEN: Monday, 6pm
