The best part of a Sofar night is that it’s never the same thing twice. Maybe it’s a high energy night that leaves you buzzing, or a laid-back, stripped down performance that floors you—no matter what, it’s always an experience. Here are a few of the many, many vibes of a Sofar night.
1. A rooftop at sunset.
Picture yourself taking the elevator up to the top of a building downtown, and stepping into a 360-view of the city, watching the sun turn the horizon pink as the grid starts to light up, and the stars come out. Oh, and you get to hear really, really good music while it all happens. Might even look something like this throwback in Sofar Chicago:

2. Chill vibes in the backyard.
Maybe you’re looking for the laid-back feel of a house show, combined with some garden magic? There’s something extra dreamy about being serenaded by an eclectic line-up of artists while you’re nestled on a blanket in the grass, surrounded by lush green life. And sometimes, the best outdoor spaces aren’t even residential. This recent show in Sofar Kampala was hosted in the backyard of Kardamom & Koffee, and we’re in love.

3. Everyone’s feeling a dance party.
Ready to get up and move? Sometimes a Sofar night is just that—high energy DJ sets, live bands, and plenty of dancing until early morning. Curious where to find these kinds of nights? Keep an eye out for Sofar Remixed:

4. Locked in on an intimate show.
The most important thing at every Sofar show? The music, of course. There are those kinds of nights where the whole room is quiet, where you could hear a single pin hit the floor, because every single pair of eyes and ears are locked in on the artist. It can feel a little something like this recent hauntingly gorgeous performance from sıla argun at Sofar Ankara.
