Intended to be a series of exclusive performances, UGG® Offstage Pass will grant guests with a backstage pass to experience a night of music from their favorite (or soon to be favorite) artists playing stripped-down acoustic performances while sharing stories and enjoying the cozy comforts of the UGG® Home collection.

“These events provide an intimate venue that allows up-and-coming performers a unique opportunity to engage with fans,” says Tim Aceves, Social Media Manager for UGG®. “The cozy scene is reminiscent of UGG’s familiar feel, but in a new and provocative way.”

Coming to life through a partnership with NY-based marketing agency The Syndicate, UGG® Offstage supports aspiring artists by offering UGG® products, such as footwear, accessories, apparel and home furnishings, to support the talent while they write their next album, record in the studio and go out on tour. UGG® Offstage artists include The Mowgli's, Blondfire, Cardiknox, Lydia Loveless, Little Hurricane, Handsome Ghost, Wild Child, Pinegrove, The Railers, Have Mercy, Sorority Noise, The Strumbellas and many more.
