For what I’m pretty sure is the first time in the intimate gigs’ existence, the Nova Red Room is going online in 2020, to bring the tiny show with huge names into the most intimate venue of all – your house. In the era of isolation and social distancing, the exclusive gigs will be beamed into the homes of the lucky few, so you can bring some of the world’s biggest artists into your space.
The crowned sad King of Twitter/our lives, Conan Gray, is the first artist kicking off the first at-home Red Room for 2020, who will be entering the houses of a bunch of very lucky fans through the one way we’re all hanging out at the moment – Zoom meetings.

Hell, go and get some of those colour-changing light globes and turn your room into an actual red-lit room. Really set the mood for yourself (and bring some serious vibes to the
I’m deeply hoping it’ll be something like that time Conan gave us a tour of his college apartment back in 2018. Remember that? Bless.
Check out the NovaFM website to see how you can cop yourself a sneaky Red Room link to the tiny online gig. How many people can fit into a Zoom meeting anyway? Like…40? I can’t wait to see how this works out.
