As eager as we are to return, we won’t rush coming back at the expense of the safety of everyone at our shows. Before we begin hosting Sofar shows again, local regulations must permit retail and event spaces to be open, and events of more than 50+ must be allowed indoors (even if our shows will not have that many people). In addition, following a period of extensive research, we set our own approval criteria that must be met before a city can begin hosting shows.
Even after a city has reopened, we’ll continue to monitor and may pause shows again if cases appear to be rising.
