Before streaming a local band's performance, make sure that you are authorized to do so. Firstly, you will need to obtain permission from each band member and make sure the band is aware of the public stream of their performance. Secondly, ensure that you are authorized for copyright reasons; reach out to the owner or representatives of any recordings or material owned by the band and acquire license rights for streaming their content online. Finally, ensure that any broadcast is in line with industry standards and complies with privacy laws such as removing personal footage of other people which may be captured at concert venues without their permission.

To ensure that your live stream of a local band's performance won't violate any copyright laws, you should firstly purchase a public performance license from the Copyright office. This license allows your stream to be viewed by the public and qualifies you for copyright protection. Additionally, depending on the region you’re in and the size of audience at the show, some extra licenses may be required so make sure to check with your regional regulatory authority. Once everything is set up accordingly, your stream should now be fully compliant with any relevant copyright laws and should not put yourself in a position where penalties or lawsuits can be filed against it.
