❗️ This date has been postponed - Indeed, due to personal reasons, one of the artist cannot perform and as we care about the quality of our event, this event cannot make sense without one of them.
We'll keep you posted for the next date! Thanks for your comprehension
Sound Lab is a series of events dedicated to experience through performances & live music concerts. Sound Lab aims to remove the frontier between the public and the artist, where senses and energies that we may seek for in the current cultural stage collide. Various musical styles will be showcased with, as a common essence, a musical awakening.
