Events company Sofar Sounds has teamed up with online attractions ticketing platform Tiqets to launch a concert series in London and San Francisco, that will see live music performances held at several iconic attractions in both cities.
Beginning on June 17, the San Francisco series will offer three concert dates across three major attractions: Aquarium of the Bay, Red & White Fleet’s Bay Cruise and the Record Factory.
Meanwhile, the London series will offer four dates, beginning on July 13, and will see musical acts take to the stage at London landmarks including Westminster Abbey, The Old Royal Naval College, The London Transport Museum and the rooftop of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The artists will not be announced until the night of the performances, a Sofar Sounds tradition, however, previous concerts have seen acts like Billie Eilish and James Bay perform.
This is the second such partnership between the two companies, which held a previous concert series in London in 2021 at attractions such as The London Dungeons, The Queen’s Gallery at Buckingham Palace and Madame Tussauds.
