Move over cable TV, because the Internet is taking a step towards becoming a true cable replacement. TV streaming site Hulu plans to offer a live stream of a Dave Matthews Band concert on June 1—the site’s first-ever live music concert. While the site has previously streamed certain live events, such as the 2008 presidential debates, the Dave Matthews Band concert marks the beginning of live-streamed entertainment, chipping away at the appeal of paying a monthly cable TV bill.

The live concert will begin at 9:00 pm ET on June 1 at Hulu. Because of the partnership, Hulu will begin offering various music videos leading up to the show, and after the concert is over, the site will continue offering on-demand streaming access. “Dave Matthews Band is honored to partner with Hulu in this groundbreaking venture,” Dave Matthews Band manager Coran Capshaw said in a statement.
