Sofar Sounds is a global community of music lovers creating a space where music matters. Founded in London in 2009, Sofar invites customers to discover new artists, places and people, whether at home or abroad, in 400 cities around the world.
Embedded in JamBase’s concert listings, Sofar shows transform everyday spaces – from living rooms and rooftops to shops and museums – into captivating venues for secret live performances, creating inclusive experiences that bring people together.
Through intimate performances in unique locations, Sofar’s shows create lasting bonds between artists and fans in intimate settings without distractions, pretense or crowds.
Each Sofar features different musical styles and you won’t know who’s performing until they take the stage. Once they do, you might fall in love.
Sofar’s previous performances have featured Ben Gibbard, Hozier, Esperanza Spalding, Karen O, Bastille, Wyclef, Lucius, Leon Bridges, Ed Sheeran, Beirut, Billie Eilish, Sylvan Esso, Moses Sumney, Khruangbin, Anderson East, Soccer Mommy, Tank and The Bangas, X Ambassadors and many other talented musicians from around the world.
Sofar keeps the location a secret until the day before the show. The Sofar community creates an inclusive space where music matters so you can lose yourself in the performance.
The locations of the Sofar experiments took place in places as unexpected as under an airplane at the Aeronautical Museum in Málaga, Spain; at a climbing gym in Houston, Texas; between casks at a distillery in Boulder, Colorado and inside Casa Batlló in Barcelona, Spain.
Other interesting locations where Sofar shows have taken place include in New York City on a volleyball court; the Green Terrace in Curitiba, Brazil; in the engine room of the Kelham Island Museum in Sheffield, England; and in libraries, apartments, amusement parks and countless other cool places around the world.
