Last Thursday night (4 September) O2 and Sofar Sounds brought together 100 lucky music fans to enjoy epic performances from Kojey Radical, Hamzaa, Victor Ray and Au/Ra in the heart of the Scottish Highlands at the UK’s most remote gig.
The intimate crowd, made up exclusively of O2 and Virgin Media broadband customers as well as Sofar Sounds enthusiasts, were selected as the lucky winners following a ballot of thousands via Priority from O2. The gig was also live streamed – 491 miles away – to music fans at the Outernet in London, powered by O2’s network which has been awarded ‘Best Mobile Network Coverage’ by Uswitch.
This exclusive event marked the launch of Priority’s new partnership with Sofar Sounds, where Priority members will be able to access 2-for-1 tickets to future Sofar Sounds gigs saving them approximately £26 per gig – a perfect activity to do for a date night, a catch-up with friends, or a family outing. Tickets to a variety of upcoming Sofar Sounds gigs will be available via the Priority app from now until 19 October 2025.
Mercury Prize-nominated, Kojey Radical reflected on the experience, saying: “It was really special playing a gig in such a unique, remote area to an intimate crowd and also to share some new music from my upcoming album “Don’t look down with you.” Thanks to those who came for travelling all the way for this.”
Christian Hindennach, Chief Commercial Officer at Virgin Media O2, commented: “Music is part of O2’s DNA, so we’re always looking for new ways to offer our customers unmissable live experiences and bring them closer to the action.
