Performance Venues

Many areas designed especially for concerts can be found across the server, some of which are:

• Formosa Symphony Hall, Formosa - Classical performance venue in Formosa for Formosa Symphony Orchestra, Formosa String Orchestra, Formosa String Quartet, Formosa Concert Band, Formosa Jazz Band, and Formosa Chamber Choir
• Miscellaneous areas, Formosa - The government of Formosa is highly supportive of the field of music and encourages public performances by everyday citizens in addition to professional musicians at formally designated areas. Any public location, i.e. a street, storefront, plaza, etc., can be used for public performances as long as it does not hinder the activities of passerby. Flash mobs, where groups of musicians make sudden appearances at locations, are a common sight and bring the joy of music to the general public.

Franchises

Some franchises are geared towards music, whether it sells instruments and music or provides in-store instruction.
