house show

Living room concert

A house show is a concert held in a private residence rather than a traditional venue.

Common in punk, indie, and DIY music scenes, house shows offer intimate settings with low or no admission fees: We're playing a house show in someone's basement Saturday night.

The term distinguishes informal home performances from club or arena shows.
