Concerts can be overwhelming. The noise, smells and crowds can take away from enjoying the moment, depending on which artist is on stage — and how much we would really sacrifice to see them (Beyoncé, we’ll endure all of that and more for you). But when it comes to enjoying music, free of distractions, Sofar Sounds concerts are the place to be.
Bringing intimate live shows to unexpected locations across Boston, Sofar Sounds creates an environment where you can truly appreciate music without distractions. Even better: you won’t know who will be performing until the day before the show — adding an element of anticipation and surprise to your experience.
The next Sofar Sounds concert will take place on April 4 at 7:30pm at a secret location in East Cambridge. Save your spot and tune in to the music!
What is Sofar Sounds?
Sofar Sounds transforms ordinary spaces into captivating venues for live music performances. Each concert is small, featuring 3 acts and no headliners. The cozy atmosphere creates a memorable experience for both audience members and artists alike — an opportunity to connect deeply with the music and the performers in ways that may not be possible at larger concerts. Artists can showcase their talent authentically, while attendees can relax and fully immerse themselves in the music, free from the stress of a larger-scale show.
How does Sofar Sounds work?
Saving your spot to a Sofar Sounds concert is fairly simple: just select a show in your area, whether you’re in Boston or elsewhere (Sofar hosts events worldwide!), and prepare to be enchanted. You’ll choose your show based on the neighborhood, but the venue and artists remain a delightful mystery until the day of the event. Just a few hours before the concert, you’ll receive an email with the necessary info, like whether the location is private or in a public venue, if food and drinks will be available, and all accessibility deets.
In the case of this special Fever x Sofar Sounds concert, you’ll know the venue ahead of time depending on the concert, but the lineup remains as deliciously mysterious as in a typical Sofar performance.
Once at your Sofar concert, you’ll finally uncover the lineup of artists — and it might just surprise you. Notably, artists like Billie Eilish and Jack Harlow have graced Sofar stages before skyrocketing to the top (so needless to say, you might just meet the next superstar). After the concert, Sofar Sounds will send you a follow-up email with info about the artists you experienced that evening. Follow them on social media, add their tracks to your playlist rotation, secure your spot to their upcoming concerts… The world is your oyster.
A phenomenal opportunity for new artists
Sofar Sounds is a vital link between venues in the city and music enthusiasts. By creating an intimate platform for emerging artists to showcase their creativity, Sofar cultivates a deep emotional connection between the artist, the venue, and the audience — one that transcends social media.
During an interview with Purple Sneakers, Matt Walters, the regional director for Sofar Sounds in Australia and New Zealand, expressed, “We aim to capture the essence of live music — the connection between the artist and the audience — and bring it to the forefront.” And they’re definitely succeeding.
