After a hugely successful, artistically exciting and game changing 10 years, Capsule are using this milestone as an opportunity to re imagine Supersonic Festival. The festival will return in April 2014, in a new format, at an exciting new venue, with experimental new music and art remaining at its heart.
It’s been a wonderful decade of adventurous music, beginning in 2003 with a one-day event featuring Coil and LCD Soundsystem. Last year’s anniversary event encompassed a weekend of installations, workshops, talks, films, new commissions, and live performances with Kim Gordon, the Oxbow Orchestra, Penny Rimbaud and many more.
We’re enormously grateful for the loyal support of our audience, and we hope you will join us 25-27 April for Supersonic Festival’s next chapter.
Dinos Chapman
And while you wait, Capsule are producing Bring to Light, a weekend of performances 25-27 October as part of the Library of Birmingham opening season. This will see performances from visual artist turned sonic performer Dinos Chapman, South Africa’s Shangaan Electro, the ‘brain pulse music’ of Masaki Batoh, songstress Josephine Foster, Robedoor, and more. This event has very limited capacity and tickets are available via www.theticketsellers.co.uk
Line up:
Dinos Chapman / Shangaan Electro / Josephine Foster / Clipping / Deafheaven / Masaki Batoh / Robedoor / Zomes / High Wolf / Kogumaza / Richard Dawson / Sleaford Mods / Sarah Angliss / Delia Darlings / Laurence Hunt

So if what i’m reading is correct, there won’t be a Supersonic this year? So why bother asking us to post suggestions for bands for bloody months on end?! You can stick your Bring to Light festival!
I’m a bit sad to see Supersonic not going ahead this year, but what a lineup! I’d go for Robedoor and High Wolf alone.
