Sohum Open Mic 1 Year Anniversary | 23 August
It’s been one whole year of Open Mics at Sohum. ❤️
A year of strangers walking into a room and sharing pieces of themselves.
Songs we heard for the first time. Poems that made the room go quiet. Stories, laughter, shaky first performances, familiar faces, new friendships — and a community that somehow kept growing every month.
So for our 1 Year Anniversary, we’re making a day of it.
OPEN MIC · 3PM–6PM
Music, poetry, spoken word & more.
Come perform, come listen, come be part of the room.
ANNIVERSARY AFTERPARTY · 7PM onwards
We’re staying after the mic to celebrate properly — DJ, music, good people, good energy, and a few surprises along the way.
📅 Sunday, 23 August
📍 Sohum Wellness Sanctuary, Al Quoz
🎟 Free Entry
Whether you’ve been there since the beginning, stepped on our stage once, sat quietly in the audience, or have never joined us before — this one is for you.
One year of stories, songs & soul. Here’s to many more.
Hosted by Sarah Janabi × Home Base

Ground Rules for the Night
To keep things flowing and inclusive, here are a few gentle guidelines:
Respect the mic – Give each performer your full attention.
Time limit – Each performance is around 6 minutes (around 2 songs) to allow everyone a chance. This might be adjusted on the day to 1 song depending on the size of the line up. First come first serve basis.
Content awareness – We welcome all forms of expression, but please keep it mindful of the community space.
Arrive early if performing – Confirm your spot before the show starts.
Support each other – Encouragement and applause go a long way.
No monopolizing – If time allows, you may return to the mic, but first priority goes to those who haven’t performed yet.
Community vibe – This night is about connection, creativity, and openness. Bring your whole self and honor the space.
