Amazon Music Live Announces Season 5 Lineup with Doja Cat, Toliver, Kahan
Amazon Music Live's fifth season will feature performances from Doja Cat, Don Toliver, Noah Kahan, and Lainey Wilson. The pre-taped concerts will air after Thursday Night Football on Amazon platforms. Kahan kicks off the series on September 24 with a show from Seattle.
The season opens with Noah Kahan's farewell performance in Seattle on September 24. Don Toliver's Brooklyn show, which included surprise appearances from Cardi B and Busta Rhymes, will stream on October 1, following his first Billboard 200 number-one album earlier this year.
Doja Cat's October 29 episode aligns with her birthday-week concert at The Forum. Lainey Wilson's October 15 broadcast features a return to Mohegan Sun Arena, the site of her first arena headline show in 2023.
The integration of live music with post-football programming could expand the reach of these artists beyond their core fanbases, potentially boosting streaming numbers and ticket sales. For viewers, this scheduling may offer a convenient, high-profile way to discover new music. The pre-taped nature might reduce the spontaneity of live events, but it could also ensure polished, high-quality broadcasts that appeal to casual audiences.
