Yes! Sofar operates in over 75 countries and 400 cities around the world in every continent except Antarctica – but never say never!
These markets are either owned and operated by Sofar — like New York, London, Vancouver, and Melbourne — or run by a growing global community of reps we call "curators". For years, Curators all over the world have chosen to bring Sofar to their city, using our platform to create and nurture a vibrant music community of their own. This means we can hold Sofar shows in cities across the globe, from Buenos Aires to Bridgetown to Beijing, and in countries from Ethiopia to Estonia.
In 2023 alone:
- We held 1,139 shows in Curator cities – 71 of these were first-time shows and nearly half of them sold out
- Around 3.5K artists performed in Curator cities
- Over 79K guests attended a show in a Curator city
Why do Curators bring Sofar to their cities? We asked them this very question: 90% said their motivator was to support and discover new artists. 70% said they were inspired to create a special experience for guests, artists, their team, and their city.
