Don’t you just love backyards for live music? It’s the season of getting outside, and what better way to spend a few hours outdoors than under the stars, serenaded by sounds? We’re a little spoiled at Sofar with the amazing outdoor spaces we get to share, but here’s some appreciation for the home spaces specifically, with 8 of our favorite backyards for live music.
8 of Sofar’s Best Backyards for Live Music:
1. Greensboro, North Carolina
Nestled beneath strung-up lights and oak trees, you could kick back on a blanket and hear artists play into the southern skies.
2. Los Angeles, California
One of the more intimate backyards for live music, equipped with an ivy backdrop, oh, and a view of the sparkling lights from the city.
3. Belfast, Northern Ireland
When the rain lets up, you’re left with lush gardens and endless green, the perfect vibey space. We love these kind of backyards for live music.
4. Ibiza, Spain
Are you seeing that pool? Those palm trees? Those soft, plush lounge chairs? We’ll let the photo speak for itself.
5. Denver, Colorado
This particular spot is one that’s been cultivated and tended to for more than two decades by two of our favorite hosts, the Goldworthys. When you’re in this magical cove, you’re home.
6. Passau, Germany
Overgrown garden beds, flowering trees, and a few outdoor lamps to light up the stage after sunset—just a few of the little details that make this backyard in Passau so darn dreamy.
7. Nashville, Tennessee
There are hundreds of places to go see amazing shows in Nashville, but how amazing is it to actually get to sit down on the grass with the artist, hearing their songs so close they don’t even need a mic?
8. Vancouver, BC
Lush ferns and moss-covered branches of old trees—Vancouver in the summer is an enchanted forest, and we feel so lucky when we get to hear the magical sounds that come out of it, like this summer evening.
