WASHINGTON - The coronavirus pandemic isn't muting this year's Go-Go Awards.
But it will keep all the funk online.
This year's Go-Go Awards will start at 7 p.m. Sunday.
You can stream the show for free online here, but reserving a spot in advance is advised. You can RSVP on the awards show's website.
This is the first Go-Go Awards following the District officially declaring the genre its official music.
A 10-person committee established this year's award categories and nominees. A popular vote will decide the winners, but voting is closed.
Categories include band of the year, song of the year and conga player of the year.
