“UK’s best small festival – By embracing the heaviness in Birmingham’s heritage, and adding a strong dose of eccentricity, Supersonic is world-class.” The Guardian

Supersonic Festival is returning in 2020 on the weekend of July 17 – 19, celebrating our 16th edition with an ambitious programme of mind bending music, sense shifting art and life altering experiences.

Following a sell-out fifteenth anniversary edition last year, Supersonic Festival continue on a voyage of discovery, celebrating heaviness in a variety of forms and constantly adapting in order to stay relevant. Our evolution continues with an exciting move to a new home on the outer edges of Digbeth, Birmingham.

Nowhere else will you find a festival experience quite like Supersonic’s – since 2003, we have been hosting superior weekends for the adventurous audience, taking care to present only the most artistically relevant and irreverent acts from the UK and across the globe, while simultaneously making sure to fill every moment with the opportunities to let loose and party, or sit down at engaging talks, discussions and workshops, or take in exclusive screenings and exhibitions.

“Supersonic reasserts itself as the best European festival for new music” – The Quietus
