NPR’s Tiny Desk is going big. 



For four nights the week of October 28, NPR is opening its intimate, genre-bending Tiny Desk concerts to the public for the first time. The artists will be a surprise, but let’s just say we mean it when we say we’re going big. Scroll down to see what genres we’ll be featuring each night of the Fest.


Each evening of Tiny Desk Fest will begin at 6 p.m. with a happy hour at NPR’s Washington, D.C. headquarters. Guests will then watch a Tiny Desk concert recorded live at the iconic desk itself, enjoy more happy hour time, and take in an intimate conversation between that evening’s artist and one of NPR Music’s reporters. 


Didn't snag tickets to the Fest in time? No problem. To celebrate the Tiny Desk, we’ll be live streaming these Tiny Desk concerts each night of the Fest. Follow NPR Music on social media or sign up here to be notified of each evening’s live stream on NPR.org, YouTube and Facebook. 

Have tickets to the Fest? Remember that you must be 21 or older to attend the Fest, and you must arrive by 6:30 p.m. Make sure you’ve read (and re-read) the rest of the event policies on this page.
