Saturday’s programme brings together a powerful and eclectic line-up: ØXN, featuring members of Lankum, Percolator and Katie Kim together they conjure experimental doom-folk shaped by motorik rhythms and Lynchian atmospheres, steeped in storytelling of love, loss and ritual. Milkweed weave British and Appalachian folk traditions with hauntological textures and fractured “plunderphonic” soundscapes that unsettle history and memory. Emerging from the cosmic remnants of Bong, Bong II reunite Mike Smith and Dawn Terry with Smote’s Daniel Foggin, pushing their ritualistic, drone-heavy repetitions into newly charged terrain. GREET crafts dark, cinematic folk rooted in the wild Yorkshire landscape, suspended between myth and reality. MMM is Gayle Brogan, Nick Jonah Davis and Elizabeth Still (Haress) together they offer a sonic response to the 5,000-year-old Calanais Stones on the Isle of Lewis, drawing on archaeology, astronomy and ancient lore. Led by Venezuelan-born trans artist Eva Leblanc, Traidora channel resilience and lived experience into raw, uncompromising music, now amplified by a powerful four-piece queer lineup. A late-night party will be announced soon.
Alongside the music, the Supersonic Marketplace, in collaboration with The Goths Playground, takes over the Zellig Building in the heart of Digbeth, free and open to all. A vibrant hub of independent culture, it brings together record labels, zine-makers, illustrators, DIY designers and curious traders offering everything from rare vinyl to handmade goods and folklore-inspired art. And Join Lia Mice, an award-winning multidisciplinary artist, educator, and pioneering maker of digital musical instruments, for a focused eco-friendly fabric synthesizer workshop.
Sunday plays host to Leeds duo Guttersnipe who will unleash their mutant, queer-fuelled rock assault with the feral intensity of new album Extinction Burst! (Night School Records), while London-based producer feeo threads hyper-personal storytelling through ambient, drone and minimalist electronics. Supersonic also hosts a worldwide exclusive from Microplastics, a new live project featuring 96 Back, aya and Jennifer Walton. Evolving from DIY roots into full-throttle band form. Iranian diaspora collective Ameretat fuse traditional musical and literary influences with crust, hardcore and drone. DJ Haram (also one half of 700 Bliss alongside Moor Mother) brings her incendiary blend of rap, club and Middle Eastern electronics. Detroit’s Prostitute channel volatile post-punk and Arab rock energy. Ancient Hostility join forces with the Supersonic Choir for close-harmony folk rooted in resistance and radical history.
Beyond the live programme, Sunday invites participation and play. Unite and Unite: Protest Song sees Debbie Armour (Burd Ellen) and Ancient Hostility lead an open, all-welcome singing workshop culminating in a pop-up Supersonic Choir performance, no experience needed. We present the ever-mischievous Freak Zone Pub Quiz hosted by broadcaster Stuart Maconie, promising leftfield trivia, deep musical cuts and plenty of surprises.
Workshops run all weekend, alongside a host of guest DJs.
