FRIDAY 21ST OCTOBER | 7:30 TILL 10:30 PM

We’ve been keeping a BIG secret.. 🤫🕵️‍♀️

We’re buzzing to reveal that the global music movement, Sofar Sounds, is coming to 1 Mill Street, Leamington Spa.

Sofar Sounds is reinventing the live event experience through intimate performances in hundreds of cities around the world. With an ear for undiscovered sounds, Sofar played a huge part in the discovery of artists such as Hozier and Billie Eilish, before they went on to be heard by the rest of the world.

Curated by the team at Sofar Coventry, we’re already set for a sell-out with less than 5 tickets remaining. You can grab yours and an exclusive 20% Mill Street discount using the code ‘1MILLST1’ at checkout.

For now? Keep it down, the location isn’t usually disclosed until 36 hours before the event 😉

GET YOURS HERE!
