Live In-Studio Public Viewing

Many KEXP Live In-Studio performances are free and open to the public. Up to 70 visitors can view these performances from the KEXP Live Room Viewing Gallery, complete with a behind-the-scenes look at DJ interviews, video production process and more. If you would like to attend a KEXP Live In-Studio performance, you must collect a ticket in person at KEXP. Tickets are available beginning 90 minutes prior to public sessions, and are free of charge. For more popular bands, lines may form in the Gathering Space in advance of ticket distribution.  Check out the complete list of upcoming in-studio performances here .

FAQ

Q: Is the Gathering Space and Viewing Gallery wheelchair accessible?

A: Yes. All entry points are accessible. There are no stairs leading into either the Gathering Space or Viewing Gallery.

Q: What’s the capacity of the Viewing Gallery?

A: Total capacity in the Viewing Gallery is 70. 

Q: Are children welcome?

A: Yes, however, please keep in mind that for the enjoyment of all guests, we ask that attendees remain quiet during the performance. Also, please consider there is no entry or exit once the performance begins. If you don’t feel your child will be able to enjoy the performance quietly for 30 minutes, you should reconsider.

Q: Can I hold a bunch of tickets for my friends?

A: No. To ensure all listeners have an opportunity to see a live in-studio performance, guests must be present to sign in and obtain a ticket. Each guest signed in can pick up one additional ticket only. Again, guests must be present 15 minutes prior to the performance and lined up in order to enter the Gathering Space for the performance.

Q: Can we have in and out privileges during the performance?

A: No. The Gathering Space is dark with blackened windows so that KEXP photographers and videographers can capture the best content possible during the performance. Light from opening doors will have a negative effect on the content so we must keep the doors closed.
