Ones to Watch continuously holds concert tours and series with Live Nation and Skype.[10] These tours often headline one act and guest multiple supporting acts whilst performing at venues of the House of Blues franchise.[11][12][13][14][15]
The website's main interface includes a panel of new artists which can be filtered alphabetically and by genre, in addition to the newest blogposts and a Spotify playlist (#NowWatching) of music released in that week.[7] The publication created a YouTube channel in January 2019 which has gained millions of views.[16] Their most popular video series, "Live From The Rooftop", has over 32 episodes consisting of live acoustic performances from the Live Nation Headquarters on Hollywood Boulevard.[17][18] Other series include one-on-one introduction interviews with new artists ("Who Is?"), self-recorded video tutorials by artists themselves ("How To") as well as simple live performances ("All Eyes On").[19]
