An Evening to Remember
The ambience was great and I loved how interactive the artists were with the audience. Overall, it was a very well organised evening at a lovely venue.
Well done Sofar team!

Made my day - everything was perfect.
Great venue and the staff always really friendly and helpful. Amazing artists too. I had been following Sofar since it's launch but never had the chance to go before. Made my day. Thanks!

Good vibes all around
It was a pleasure to work with Brenda from SoFar and the fellow artists who performed at Soul Sundays. Everyone was kind, the evening was organized but relaxed at the same time. The audience were very welcoming and came off as music lovers in the purest form.

Great experience!
All of the artist were great! The venue was also really cool. Lamar Creation was the first artist and it was his first time performing with sofar sounds. I hope he gets picked again to perform because I really enjoyed how he engaged with the audience and his performance was great!

Great way to spend 4/20
The event was great—slightly crowded, but overall a really fun experience. I loved Gotham Dispensary as the venue; it was a perfect setting to hang out with fellow stoners and enjoy the calm, hypnotic music. The food options, like fries and chicken tenders, were a nice touch. That said, milkshakes were announced at the beginning of the event but were never mentioned again, and they seemed to run out quickly, with only staff getting them. It would’ve been nice if that had been communicated more clearly. My high self was sad that they were offered and then not delivered. The goodie bags were cute, and the branded matches were a great touch!

We're sorry to hear about the milkshake situation, and we completely understand the disappointment. We've passed that note along to the local team.
We're really glad the music, venue, and goodie bags hit the spot though. We hope to see you at another Sofar soon!

Loved the Broadway edition
Amazing as always, but as someone that has been going to Sofar Sounds for over 10 years, and hadn't gone for a while, it was really surprising to me how expensive it's gotten. It used to be free (donation based). While I understand there's costs associated with this, it always felt like a community-led event, where everyone chipped in and everyone benefited. Now that it's paid, that feels a bit lost; and, given how expensive it's gotten, it also feels less accessible.

Hi Diogo, thanks so much for coming back after all this time and for the kind words about the Broadway night!
The donation model worked when shows were small, volunteer-run, and operating on a shoestring. As Sofar grew into a proper global operation paying artists fairly, building out production, and running shows in 300+ cities, moving to ticketed shows was what made it possible to keep going at all.
Our shows now span a wide range of formats and price points, but the secret lineup, the unexpected space, the room full of strangers who end up connecting — that's still what we build every show around. We're really glad you're back, and we hope the next one feels as special as your first.
All the best,
The Sofar Team
Incorrect timing in emails.
I got an email saying the shoe will start at 8pm, and the door open the 7: 30pm. But turns out there was another email when the venue was revealed the time was mentioned to 4: 30pm. In that email there was no clear highlighting the time has changed. And due to this I missed 70% of the show.

Hi Rohit,
Thank you for letting us know about your experience - we're so sorry to hear this happened!
If any details of your show change, including the timings, we'll always send an email as early as possible to let you know. It sounds like on this occasion, that didn't happen.
We've alerted the relevant team to investigate now, and someone will be in touch to put this right.

I liked the environment
I liked the environment. The little snack area. That there were three acts. The owners and host of the show did their best to make the event welcoming and entertaining in their interventions.
Three breaks were too many for me. Always having to take extra time to call people back to their seats. Starting each act late as a result. Even though there were three acts, I felt like the 1st and 2nd were not really different from one another. I was hoping for more diversity in the music, gender and ethnicity of the artists. We had three white males (2 locals). Nothing wrong with that but not very diverse. The first act was fine, with a couple of okay songs. The 2nd act was a huge disappointment, the singer was yelling most of the time and not singing well at all. The last act was fun, and interactive, he tapped into different genres by himself which was appreciated.
It was my first Sofar experience. I’m a fan and have been watching online so far. So without that last act, it would have been a total disappointment. I felt like the tickets were overpriced for this specific event. Maybe it’s just a one off situation, other events might be more enjoyable music wise.

Thank you for such thoughtful feedback on your first Sofar experience. We're sorry to hear it didn't hit the mark, although we're glad the environment and final act made a positive impression.
Diversity in artist lineup - across music, background, and identity - is something we prioritize, and we've passed your comments along to the local team.
The live experience can also feel quite different from our online content, and it's useful to hear that perspective from a long time fan.
We hope you'll give Sofar another chance - no two shows are the same! If you have any further feedback or questions, you can reach our Support team here: https://help.sofarsounds.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Actually the weather was good enough…
Actually the weather was good enough for an outside occasion. I understood that you did not want to risk but the place was very small. Moreover, if it had been in a house, you would offer beer but in this place we had to buy it. Like these situations maybe you should consider cheaper tickets. And the most important point is the ones who perform. Some of the performers was a bad experience and the people around us thought the same. Despite all these negative details, experiencing sofar is nice. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing this feedback - we're glad the Sofar experience still resonated despite some frustrations on the night.
Our teams sometimes have to make quick calls based on the weather forecast to ensure the show runs smoothly for everyone, though we appreciate that a move indoors can be disappointing.
Drinks availability and pricing depends on the venue, and sometimes we work with independent spaces where selling drinks is an important part of bringing Sofar into their space. That being said, we know the added cost can be a huge factor when it comes to value. Thank you also for your honest feedback on the artist lineup - this has all been noted and passed along to the local team.
We hope to welcome you back for a show that feels a bit more like the full Sofar experience. If you have any further feedback or questions, you can reach our Support team here: https://help.sofarsounds.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

I’m a long time fan of sofar and this…
I’m a long time fan of sofar and this is the first time I wasn’t fully blown away by the event. Going to assume a one off and continue to be a fan and appreciator.
The sets were too short and the breaks in between were too long. The venue wasn’t quite intimate and was noisy with hotel guests. It was first posted as a byob event then changed at reveal.

Hi Surbhi,
Thank you for taking the time to leave this review, and for your continued loyalty to Sofar - it really means a lot.
We're sorry this one didn't quite live up to your usual experience. Your points about the set lengths, breaks, venue atmosphere, and the last-minute BYOB change are all very valid - we know how distracting noise and last minute changes can really take you away from the magic - we've made sure to pass your feedback along to the local team for review.
We hope the next one feels much more like the Sofar you know and love! If you have any further feedback or questions, you can reach our Support team here: https://help.sofarsounds.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
