Franco Manca X Sofar Sounds

Franco Manca and Sofar Sounds Team Up to Bring Live Music to Pizza Lovers This Summer

Introducing: Sofar Sounds

This summer, Franco Manca is turning up the volume.

We’re excited to announce a brand-new collab with Sofar Sounds, the global live music community known for hosting unforgettable intimate gigs in unexpected spaces. Together, we’re bringing a series of exclusive pop-up live music events to Franco Manca pizzerias across the UK.

Combining incredible emerging artists, authentic sourdough pizza and unique atmospheres, these special events are set to become some of the most exciting live music experiences of the summer.

Why Sofar Sounds?

For over a decade, Sofar Sounds has reimagined live music by connecting artists and audiences through intimate performances in unexpected venues around the world.

From living rooms and rooftops to restaurants and community spaces, Sofar creates meaningful experiences that put music and connection front and centre.

At Franco Manca, we’re passionate about bringing people together over great food. Partnering with Sofar Sounds felt like a natural fit: authentic experiences, local communities and memorable moments shared around the table.
