It's the worst and best of times for live music fans, because although you can't go and see acts live right now, the amount of special streamed performances and legendary bands stepping up with streamed events is unprecedented. And now following Pink Floyd's announcement yesterday, Genesis have announced a lockdown film festival of their own.
