These aren’t just stages; they’re places where icons lived, created, and reshaped culture. And when Sofar steps in, it’s like the past and present hit the same note.</span></p> <h2><b>Aretha Franklin’s Estate | Detroit, Michigan</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Queen of Soul didn’t just bless us with songs that defined generations; she left her mark on the very walls of her Detroit estate. Hosting a Sofar show here felt like stepping into history, where every note carried the same power and grace that Aretha poured into her music. A stage doesn’t get much more iconic than this.</span></p> <p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GdjaMUhw7_k?si=W8KMI2d7LDHctz5T" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p> <h2><b>David Bowie’s Apartment | Berlin, Germany</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">David Bowie found refuge in Berlin when escaping the chaos of LA. The block became his sanctuary; he claims his time spent there “saved my life and my creativity.” It was here that he painted, reflected, and created some of his most iconic music. Hosting Sofar Berlin in Bowie’s old apartment wasn’t just a show; it was magic.</span></p> <figure id="attachment_4199" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4199" style="width: 461px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4199" src="https://sofar-sounds-blog.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/IMG_4192.jpg?crop=faces%2Centropy&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=200&ixlib=php-3.3.1&w=300&wpsize=medium" alt="" width="461" height="307" srcset="https://sofar-sounds-blog.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/IMG_4192.jpg?crop=faces%2Centropy&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=200&ixlib=php-3.3.1&w=300&wpsize=medium 300w, https://sofar-sounds-blog.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/IMG_4192.jpg?crop=faces%2Centropy&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=683&ixlib=php-3.3.1&w=1024&wpsize=large 1024w, https://sofar-sounds-blog.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/IMG_4192.jpg?crop=faces%2Centropy&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=512&ixlib=php-3.3.1&w=768&wpsize=medium_large 768w, https://sofar-sounds-blog.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/IMG_4192.jpg?crop=faces%2Centropy&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=1024&ixlib=php-3.3.1&w=1536&wpsize=1536x1536 1536w, https://sofar-sounds-blog.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/IMG_4192.jpg?crop=faces%2Centropy&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=1365&ixlib=php-3.3.1&w=2048&wpsize=2048x2048 2048w, https://sofar-sounds-blog.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/IMG_4192.jpg?crop=faces%2Centropy&fm=pjpg&ixlib=php-3.3.1 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 461px) 100vw, 461px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-4199" class="wp-caption-text">photo credit @sophia_carrara</figcaption></figure> <h2><b>Buckingham Palace, The Queen’s Gallery | London, UK</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Live music in Buckingham Palace? You read that right. The Queen’s Gallery in London has opened its doors to Sofar, giving audiences the chance to experience intimate performances in one of the most famous residences in the world. Between the art-lined walls and the weight of royal history, every note felt like it belonged to something much bigger.</span><br /> <iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4hvh0VSzpag?si=L3af0LLMQSysLbxX" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p> <h2><b>David Rockefeller’s Penthouse | New York City, NY</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Way above the hustle of Manhattan, David Rockefeller’s private penthouse office once looked out over the city he helped shape. Bringing Sofar to this sky-high perch wasn’t just about the view; it was about transforming a place of power into a place of music. A space once reserved for deals and decisions turned into one of the most unique concert settings imaginable.</span></p> <figure id="attachment_4200" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4200" style="width: 497px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-4200" src="https://sofar-sounds-blog.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/20_Pine_St_PH50_Terrace_1_DK-scaled.jpg?crop=faces%2Centropy&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=200&ixlib=php-3.3.1&w=300&wpsize=medium" alt="" width="497" height="331" srcset="https://sofar-sounds-blog.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/20_Pine_St_PH50_Terrace_1_DK-scaled.jpg?crop=faces%2Centropy&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=200&ixlib=php-3.3.1&w=300&wpsize=medium 300w, https://sofar-sounds-blog.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/20_Pine_St_PH50_Terrace_1_DK-scaled.jpg?crop=faces%2Centropy&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=683&ixlib=php-3.3.1&w=1024&wpsize=large 1024w, https://sofar-sounds-blog.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/20_Pine_St_PH50_Terrace_1_DK-scaled.jpg?crop=faces%2Centropy&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=512&ixlib=php-3.3.1&w=768&wpsize=medium_large 768w, https://sofar-sounds-blog.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/20_Pine_St_PH50_Terrace_1_DK-scaled.jpg?crop=faces%2Centropy&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=1024&ixlib=php-3.3.1&w=1536&wpsize=1536x1536 1536w, https://sofar-sounds-blog.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/20_Pine_St_PH50_Terrace_1_DK-scaled.jpg?crop=faces%2Centropy&fit=scale&fm=pjpg&h=1366&ixlib=php-3.3.1&w=2048&wpsize=2048x2048 2048w, https://sofar-sounds-blog.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/20_Pine_St_PH50_Terrace_1_DK-scaled.jpg?crop=faces%2Centropy&fm=pjpg&ixlib=php-3.3.1 2560w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 497px) 100vw, 497px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-4200" class="wp-caption-text">Photo Courtesy of The Corcoran Group</figcaption></figure> <h2><b>Island Sound Studios | Honolulu, Hawaii</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This one’s got modern legend status written all over it.

Whether you’re heading across the world or just across town, there are plenty of ways to make music the highlight of your journey. From catching live shows in unexpected venues to curating the perfect travel playlist, we’ve rounded up our favorite travel tips for music lovers.</p> <h2><b>1. Going to a Sofar City?</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Before you book that dinner reservation, check the Sofar calendar. Our shows pop up in <em>hundreds </em>of cities across the globe. Picture this: sipping wine at a candlelit jazz set in Paris or watching an emerging indie pop band under string lights in Melbourne.</span></p> <h2><b>2. Chat with the Locals</b></h2> <p><span style="font-size: 20px;">Skip the tourist traps and ask your rideshare driver, barista, or bartender where they go for live music. You’ll find basement venues, rooftop gigs, and hole-in-the-wall treasures you’d never see on TripAdvisor. Our favorite? Finding local record shops to connect, discover, and get details on a show tomorrow night. </span></p> <h2><b>3. Pack for the encore<br /> </b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What we mean: wear shoes you can stand in all night and layers for chilly outdoor shows. *Bonus points for a tote bag to stash a vinyl, merch, or umbrella.</span></p> <h2><b>4. Create the city soundtrack </b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Make a playlist for the city you’re visiting; add local artists, vibes, or lyrical homages to cultivate and immerse in your travel experience! Even better, track artists you’ve seen (or want to see) at Sofar. It’ll set the tone and maybe even inspire a last-minute ticket purchase. Or, as always recommended, plan your trip around your favorite artists’ tour dates!</span></p> <h2><b>5. Embrace the unfamiliar genre </b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You wouldn’t eat the same meal every night on vacation, so why stick to one type of music? See a folk trio one night or a hip-hop set the next. </span></p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">PS Sofar shows make it easy to hop genres and discover new favorites.</span></em></p> <h2><b>6. Don’t have it <em>all</em> planned out</b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some of the best gigs happen when you least expect it. Leave a gap in your itinerary so you can say yes when a new friend invites you to a Sofar show, block party, or pop-up performance.</span></p> <h2><b>7. Memories > Momentos </b></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Snap a photo of the setlist, jot down the name of that song you loved, and follow the artists after the show. That way, your trip playlist keeps growing long after you’re home.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And the best advice?<a href="https://www.sofarsounds.com/"> Finding a Sofar Show in your next destination.</a> With secret concerts around the world, consider us a local friend who always knows where the good music is.</span></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.sofarsounds.com/blog/articles/how-to-travel-as-a-music-lover/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Night at the Museum</title> <link>https://www.sofarsounds.com/blog/articles/a-sofar-night-at-the-museum</link> <comments>https://www.sofarsounds.com/blog/articles/a-sofar-night-at-the-museum#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[cat.kiene]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sat, 26 Jul 2025 06:09:31 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Community]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Sofar Tips & Tricks]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Spaces]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Travel]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.sofarsounds.com/blog/?p=4161</guid> <description><![CDATA[Forget the idea of dusty exhibits and quiet halls; these museums come to life.
