The National will be playing a concert at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and will be VEVO’s first-ever live concert stream in conjunction with YouTube Starting at 8pm EST this Saturday! You can watch the entire concert from The National on their VEVO/YouTube channel page.

The concert, a VEVO event on YouTube, is presented by ZYNC from American Express.  It will be a live webcast directed by acclaimed filmmakers D.A. Pennebaker (Don’t Look Back, Monterey Pop) and Chris Hegedus (Oscar-nominated The War Room’), and will include a short film from the award-winning filmmakers preceding the event.

The concert comes just days after the May 11 release of The National’s anticipated new album High Violet (4AD) and all ticket proceeds will benefit Red Hot, a leading international organization dedicated to fighting AIDS through pop culture.  The National has a lengthy history with Red Hot, having raised over $1 million for the organization through its ‘Dark Was The Night’ album and concert, and other initiatives.
