Book Tickets

3 days of the best experimental and underground music you’re likely to experience this year. Come and be illuminated and inspired.

Where else would you hear: the greatest live noise band on the planet playing with a legendary free jazz bassist, the best skiffle and kazoo jug band you’ve never heard of, someone shaking The Arches and picking up the building’s harmonics with seismographs, the microscopic sounds of acid burning nylon?

And it’s cheap, £10 per day or £25 for the festival.
