pop-up show

Surprise retail event

A pop-up show is a temporary performance or exhibition that appears briefly in an unexpected or unconventional space—a warehouse, an empty storefront, a parking lot.

The format creates urgency and exclusivity: I heard about a pop-up show downtown but it's only running three nights.

Pop-up shows are common for emerging artists, experimental work, or promotional events where the temporary nature is part of the appeal.
