Capsule: The Open Fund for Organisations
In a 5* review, The Guardian named Supersonic the “UK’s best small festival – ‘by embracing the heaviness in Birmingham’s heritage, and adding a strong dose of eccentricity, Supersonic is world-class”
With genre-bending sound and performance at its heart, Supersonic Festival, curated and produced by Capsule, began as a one-day event in Birmingham back in 2003. Following 17 years of championing deeply experimental music, from both emergent and established artists, Supersonic is now an internationally renowned three-day music and arts festival. Within the post-industrial setting of Digbeth, the festival occupies an exalted position at the heart of Birmingham’s cultural life, bringing artists and audience together as one global community. Across multiple venues, immersive, risk-taking and diverse programming is presented with the highest of production values. Year-round, Supersonic continues crafting extraordinary new work for curious audiences, with a programme of live events, exhibitions and kids gigs.
“Supersonic Festival celebrates weirdness. It encourages unbridled creativity. It expands the imagination. It promotes the free and limitless pursuit of expression in order to expand the body, the mind, and the human spirit. It forges unlikely connections between ostensibly different areas, ideas, people and disciplines.” – The Quietus
