MOPOP’s musical event of the year is ready to take center stage. Spotlighting the Pacific Northwest’s most talented 21-and-under musicians, Sound Off! gives emerging artists the stage, skills, and community to amplify their sound across three high-energy showcases.

Performers gain mentorship from industry pros, plug into key community partners, and share unforgettable moments with their artist cohort—making this legendary program a true launchpad for the region’s rising stars.

Alumni have gone on to play festivals like Bumbershoot and NW Folklife, hit stages at Neumos and The Showbox, record live at 90.3 KEXP, and build followings that stretch far beyond the Puget Sound.

Come experience the next wave of Northwest music and see these young musicians step into the spotlight. From first riffs to full power chords, they’re proving that the next big sound starts here.
