Over the years, we’ve had the pleasure of hosting Sofar shows in spaces that are adventurous, imaginative, and just plain fun. So let’s get right to seeing some of these good-time venues. Here are eight of Sofar’s most fun venues around the world.
Aquarium of the Bay | San Francisco, CA
Ready to step back into the joy and wonder of being a kid? An aquarium can do that. Nothing like an underwater tunnel and seeing marine life sailing around you in the cool, dark light to get you excited to discover new music ahead.
Lytehouse studio | NYC
Talk about a light show—excuse me, a “lyte” show. Lytehouse Studio in Brooklyn is a film and production studio that can become kaleidoscopic right before your eyes. It’s the kind of room where you’re fully immersed in lights, bringing you right into the live music performance.
The Crag | Nashville, TN
Care for a climb? What’s more fun than weaving in some adventurous activities? Listen, there’s no pressure to climb, but maybe you’ll find yourself inspired to try something new after hearing some awe inspiring tunes between the climbing walls.
Moving Tram | Wroclaw, Poland
Up to get really adventurous? What about a performance in a full on active tram? It’ll give the performance a whole new kind of rhythm and movement.
Hedgehog Creative | Nairobi, Kenya
There’s just a kind of magic in this room that we can’t resist, like the dozens of guitars above could come to life with sound at any minute. If one of the artists needs a backup, they’re covered.
Overton Park Shell | Memphis, TN
Want the feel of a huge, larger-than-life stadium show, without having to bring binoculars? That’s why we love an evening like this one at Overton Park Shell in the birthplace of rock ‘n’ roll—Memphis, TN. You get all that big arena excitement, but the space to sit right up close, and even stretch out a bit.
Dream Park | Beirut, Lebanon
Music at an amusement park, right next to the carousel—need we even say more?
House Shows around the World
Maybe it’s a hot take, but we’re sayin’ it—a house show might be the most fun venue of all. They’re intimate, they’re inviting, and always the kind of adventure where you’re bound to make some new friends. Plus, the seating gets pretty creative.
