Learn to make aleatory music using Hexadic System, listen to cosmic disco and Oregon psych, or take your kids to an ‘Introduction to experimental music’ gig led by the exuberant Flamingods. The most alternative and daring festival on the list, Supersonic has secured its experimental reputation with over 10 years of consistently innovative and explosive concoctions of visual installations, films, exhibitions and music. Its status has been confirmed in this year’s partnership with The British Library and the success of its recent crowdfunding campaign that raised over £21 000. Guaranteed to open your eyes and ears to music and art outside the predictable genre labels and familiar performance spaces, Supersonic thrives on the spirit of adventure and discovery; and with four-day passes at only £95 it is a bargain to boot.
Music highlights: The Pop Group, TOMAGA, Flamingods, DELIGHT IS RIGHT – Richard Dawson, Eternal Tapestry, Happy Meals, Liima (Efterklang + Tatu Ronkko),Six Organs of Admittance, Slow Magic, The Will Gregory Moog Ensemble
