Tiqets, the online ticketing platform for museums and attractions, and Sofar Sounds, the community that stages intimate concerts in unexpected venues in 400 cities around the world, are once again partnering to offer an exclusive series of live music performances at iconic London attractions that are sold on Tiqets.com.

From the regal turrets of Westminster Abbey to the painted hall at Old Royal Naval College, the historic London Transport Museum to the landmark Tottenham Stadium, the four-part series will allow visitors to experience these venues from a brand-new perspective this summer.

As is tradition with Sofar Sounds events, the artists themselves will not be announced in advance, only those in attendance will see who is performing on the night. Previous Sofar Sounds acts have included Billie Eilish and James Bay.

“We're thrilled to be joining forces with Sofar Sounds to combine our incredible venue partners with live musicians to host this summer concert series in London,” says Tiqets CEO Laurens Leurink. “With these truly once-in-a-lifetime shows featuring exciting new artists in iconic locations like the Westminster Abbey and Old Royal Navy College, we hope to inspire people all over the world to find more ways to culture this summer.”
