Live shows give fans the opportunity to be part of the magic. To opportunity to be in the same room with creativity. In real time. The thrill of front row seats. The energy. The euphoria. The reverberation. It’s the loud screams of fans around the Golden Circle. The thunderous applause of fans. The vibe. But we know and understand that putting up live shows costs money. That this level of magic requires resources. As the SAMPRA Development Fund, we are so proud to partner with individuals and companies who are committed to bring the live music scene to life.
