SuperSonic happens yearly and attracts a multitude of attention from all corners of the UK and further afield - there really. isn't another event like it in the UK that mixes such a prolific blend of artists. Previous perfomances by Coil, LCD Sound System, Senor Coconut, Battles, Modified Toy Orchestra, High on Fire, Thrones to name but a few.This years festival will take place at the Custard Factory, Birmingham on July 13th/14th July 07.

”AS British music festivals go, Birmingham’s annual Supersonic event is the best kind of mixed musical bag, a dizzying assortment of avant rock textures and Heavy Metal thunder on a bill which swings from the sublime to the ridiculous without once seeming ostentatiously eclectic. Not only is the music consistently better than that of most UK weekenders, the atmosphere is equally enticing, making this the perfect festival for people who ‘wouldn’t normally do this kind of thing’…The organisers of Supersonic deserve credit for joining the dots between the cerebral pleasures of the avant garde and the primal pull of planet rock, striking a delicate balance between chin-stroking and headbanging few other British events bother to attempt. There’s a kind of straightforward karma at work here, the thought and care invested in making this event a worthwhile experience for all involved guarantees good word of mouth, and this in turn ensures its survival. One would like to think that Supersonic could provide a good example to the UK’s ailing – in terms of quality, rather than lucrativeness – festival circuit.”
