“The Supersonic festival at the Custard Factory was one of the most ambitious and eclectic I have ever had the pleasure of playing at in the UK. The only thing that I know of that compares would be Sonar in Barcelona for diversity, setting, presentation and sheer love of music.”
Strictly Kev – DJ FOOD
“Supersonic, the urban music and arts festival curated by Capsule…plugs directly into the creative currents flowing throughout the second city and should give quite a shock to anyone still labouring under the impression that Birmingham is a cultural void.”

“on taking their event a stage further from its debut last year, Capsule have done a sterling job in creating a festival which showcases the best that the Midlands can offer in experimental music and draw artists from every part of the globe. here’s hoping that the bar can be raised even higher next year.”
