Wristband exchange opens from 1pm, and music starts approx. 2pm - midnight. There will be an official after party venue that can continue past midnight for those that would like to continue to enjoy the fun.

We will announce the set times via Sofar London’s Instagram nearer to the day.

50+ of the very best of emerging and grassroots artists from across London and the UK. You can expect performances to span music, comedy, dance, theatre, talks and spoken word. Keep an eye on our Instagram page for artist announcements.

Bars will be available at most venues and there will be food traders available at some of the venues. More details to be announced soon.

Each stage is in a unique venue and so has a specific capacity, all of which differ from one another. Please note some of our capacities are very small (50-60 people). When this is reached, entry to that stage will be limited. When a performance ends, it is likely more space will become available. If you want to see a specific artist please arrive early so you don’t miss out! Alternatively, there will be lots happening so just try the next closest venue!

Check out our illustrated map (coming soon) for where to find out venues. You can also visit our Google Maps link to help with navigation on the day.

In some venues, it’s too disruptive to allow people to come in and out as the performance is happening. Some of the venues will be quiet, intimate and acoustic. We will do our best to get you into the venue (if there is space) as soon as possible, but you will likely be held at the door until there is a suitable break.

With all performances, please try and get there before the start time to give the artist all the love and attention they deserve!

We ask you to be mindful of the artists that you are watching and please wait until the end of the performance to leave the venue. If you must leave, please do so at a suitable break to not disrupt the performance. If you leave a venue, we cannot guarantee that there will be space for you to come back in, and we may also hold you at the door until there is a suitable break.

There will not be a cloakroom available at any of the venues, so please avoid bringing items that you are unable to carry with you. Items larger than a regular size backpack will not be allowed into the venues.
