A massive thank you to all the artists, our incredible team and of course our audience for making this years Supersonic Festival a truly remarkable event. It is always such a pleasure to welcome back old friends and make new ones. Thank you & we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

We will start posting up our Supersonic Collective memory over the next few days, so feel free to send your comments, blog post links and photos to us.
Supersonic photos should be added to our Flickr group (if you could tag them with band name & supersonic 2010)

SUPERSONIC QUESTIONNAIRE
We know that people who come to SUPERSONIC are a knowledgeable and opinionated lot so we’d like to ask for your assistance to develop and improve the next festival by answering a few questions about you and your experience. This should take no more than 6 minutes of your time, and your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Your answers here will aid us in keeping costs down and in making sure new and interesting artists will keep coming to the festival – so your input really does matter in making SUPERSONIC work.

Some nice press quotes:
“Supersonic Festival is one of the most celebrated dates on the UK festival calendar.” Clash Magazine

“Birmingham’s “foremost purveyors of what is interesting, exciting and invigorating about music in the twenty-first century” strike gold again at this year’s Supersonic festival” Bearded Magazine

“Always brave, always new and always excitedly different.” Virgin.com

“Not for the casual music imbiber, this is the perfect, in fact the only place to be if you want to be challenged, inspired, and even occasionally shocked as well as amused and entertained. Cerebral and visceral – this could just be the ideal music festival experience.” TLOBF

“Supersonic Festival, bringing forward a mouth-watering banquet with a taste for pure and unadulterated sound, verging on the eccentric, the unexpected and the just plain bizarre” Sound Sphere Magazine
