Qello is a streaming service dedicated to full-length concert performances and music documentaries, and now its Summer Encore Festival is bringing together various past performances from some of the world's most popular artists for a three-week virtual event.

Qello's Summer Encore Festival takes viewers around the world from festivals like Rock in Rio and Woodstock to iconic venues like Wembly Stadium.
