UPDATE: Since our initial volume of shows is very small, artist applications to perform are closed for the first few months of in-person shows. For the time being, we'll be reaching out directly to Sofar artists to schedule performances. Thanks for your patience! We'll keep the Sofar artist community up to date as we increase the number of shows and have more capacity to review applications.
If you’ve never played a Sofar show before, head here and click ‘Apply for my first show’ to fill out the artist application. We’re not able to book artists via email submissions.
If you’ve played Sofar before, head to the Artist Portal and click ‘Apply now’ to fill out the show application form. (Don’t have access to the Artist Portal? Head here.)
Before requesting to perform, please make sure that you’re following your region’s COVID-19 travel advisories and restrictions. At this time, we don’t recommend traveling outside of your home city to perform at a Sofar. You can see the list of Sofar cities currently open here.
