Listen, FOMO can happen to the best of us. We see what an old friend or acquaintance is up to, and suddenly we feel like we’re missing all kinds of fun. Well, the next time you find yourself feeling an oncoming case of the FOMO blues, Sofar’s got you covered. Here are four ways a Sofar show can cure FOMO.
1. Connecting with Local Community
At the heart of FOMO is just feeling a little lonely, right? A Sofar night is the opposite of loneliness, it’s the chance to gather in a roomful of people all there for the same surprise of three unannounced artists in a unique venue. It’s a shared adventure, an instant way to feel part of a community.
2. Checking out a New Space
It’s easy to get in ruts and visit the same old spots every week. A Sofar show pushes you out of your habits, inviting you to explore new spaces in your city, maybe even find a few of your new favorite haunts.
3. Discovering Your City’s Music Scene
Nothing cures FOMO like the excitement of connecting with new artists, which is what’s Sofar’s all about. Every show gives you the chance to hear not only global artists, but also folks who are a strong part of the local music scene, which always feels good to support. Plus, you never know who’ll make it big after your show…
4. Meeting Unexpected Friends
Like we said, everyone coming to a Sofar show is there for the adventure, stepping out of their comfort zone to be surprised by a new space and artists, so naturally, who wouldn’t be open to making a few new friends as well?
