Re: SUPERSONIC 2009 24TH – 26TH July
SUPERSONIC FESTIVAL
Announce two shows at London’s Scala
on 26th and 27th July
Of this welter of well organised, wisely curated festivals (ATP, Faster Than Sound, Sonar, Greenman) perhaps the best organised and most wisely curated was Supersonic. Plotted by Birmingham promoters Capsule, 2007's Supersonic inhabited the nexus where metal, folk and noise met." Plan B Magazine
"Supersonic, in our opinion the best festival in the world right now" Rock-A-Rolla Magazine
”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. The Wire
Capsule the brains behind Supersonic Festival are curators, promoters and fans of the finest music, revealing the otherwise indescribable connections between contemporary music and art, crafting extraordinary events for adventurous audiences. Now in it’s 7th year, the event will once again take place at the Custard Factory in the heart of Digbeth in Birmingham (24th – 26th July) utilising a number of spaces for music, art, film and cake. This year Supersonic extends its program to include two nights at the Scala in London with headline performances by highly influential Italian legends, GOBLIN - who play their first UK shows in over 20 years - and the notorious Japanese band CORRUPTED - who will be playing in the UK for the first time.
CORRUPTED will be joined at their London show (26th July) by THORR’S HAMMER + splatter rock band THE ACCUSED.
