Futuresonic

EVNTS

The Futuresonic EVNTS strand is a festival-within-the-festival showcasing the best new and original events, performances and creative happenings.

EVNTS is 5 years old this year!

An innovation unique to Futuresonic, EVNTS is a place to discover the genres, artforms and stars of tomorrow and takes place across the entire city centre. EVNTS is a  'wiki-festival' which throws open the doors of the festival to new and innovative event organisers and artist groups.

Futuresonic puts money from the festival's core programming budget into EVNTS and financially supports a number of events, judged by the independent EVNTS Jury. In addition to bringing fresh and engaging work to the public, the EVNTS programme is designed to expose the artists themselves to new ways of thinking and encourage them to confront and interact with the audiences in new and interesting ways.

Since its introduction in 2005, EVNTS has grown into one of the most important strands of the festival, and has generated a community of EVNT people who meet regularly and return each year to give Futuresonic an extra edge.

This year there will be over 25 EVNTs, including five award winners who receive financial support from Futuresonic, selected by a special EVNTS Jury for creative quality, ability to deliver, innovation and their potential creative legacy.
