Sofar fills rooms in cities around the world with attentive audiences seeking to discover new music so artists can focus on their craft, connect with fans and earn money. Sofar shows take place in unexpected spaces, to a room full of potential new fans as three secret rising artists are presented at an undisclosed venue.
Arriving in our regional city for the very first time, Sofar will be staging an intimate concert in Geelong on Friday, 21 July at a secret location. All we know so far is that the nearest train station is North Geelong, with the specific address to be revealed 36 hours before the gig.
From 7:30pm, here you’ll see two or three short sets from incredible performers from all musical genres, and sometimes even spoken word, comedy or dance. Each show’s lineup is curated by our artist booking team to be diverse and varied.
