King Crimson-affiliated quartet Beat – comprising former King Crimson members Adrian Belew and Tony Levin, plus guitarist Steve Vai and Tool drummer Danny Carey – have announced that their November 10 show at the United Theater on Broadway in Los Angeles, CA, will be available as a global livestream.

"Big, big news!" exclaim the band, whose repertoire is pulled from the three albums King Crimson released in the 1980s. "Since the Beat tour announcement in April, we have received endless requests to bring the show to fans around the world. That is not possible at this time but we worked out another way for the whole world to tune in."

The show will be filmed by multiple cameras, with the audio overseen by multi-Grammy and Emmy mixer Bob Clearmountain, who mixed King Crimson's Sleepless single in 1984, and more recently mixed the livestream of the Foo Fighters' Taylor Hawkins tribute shows.

Tickets for the livestream are available now for $24.99 from Veeps. The stream will be broadcast live on November 10 at 8pm Pacific – that's 3am UK time on November 11 – but fans in less convenient timezones will be delighted to learn that the stream will be available for a full seven days after purchase.

The next show on Beat's North American tour is on October 30 at the Murat Theatre in Indianapolis, IN. Full dates below.
