Absence has only made the heart grow louder, as Unsound returns to Adelaide after an eventful two year break. In 2013 South Australia began hosting its own edition of the pioneering experimental music festival, becoming one of the longest-running international legs of a movement with its HQ in Krakow, Poland. The results were the stuff of legend — an often unpredictable, but reliably riveting mix of emerging names and seminal acts rarely seen in Australia.

As part of Illuminate Adelaide’s MAAD series the Unsound banner will fly once more over the city’s west end, with Unsound curating 10 shows at Lion Arts Factory and Jive giving local audiences a lifeline to this international movement that has never felt more vital.

Featuring: MY DISCO, HTRK, Del Lumanta and Aviva Endean.
