MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - APRIL 05: Elspeth Scrine from the band Huntly adjusts the camera before her performance is live streamed via her phone as part of Isol-Aid on April 05, 2020 in Melbourne, Australia. The online music festival was organised in response to the increasing restrictions on travel and gatherings amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Organised by Melbourne booker and musician Emily Ulman, musician Merpire (Rhiannon Atkinson-Howatt) and artist manager Shannen Egan, and now in its third weekend of performances, Isol-Aid aims to bring the music community together during this difficult time. Performances are live streamed on each artists' Instagram page, with viewers able to click over and musicians hand over online between sets. Australians are facing increasing restrictions as the federal government works to stop the spread of COVID-19. Indoor gatherings have been banned, which has seen the closure of all live music venues, bars, clubs and nightclubs while Australians must now observe social distance measures when in public and cannot gather in groups of more than two. All Australians are now expected to stay at home except for essential outings such as work, grocery shopping and medical appointments. (Photo by Asanka Ratnayake/Getty Images)
