A two-day celebration of experimental art, music and film, as part of the Hastings Fat Tuesday festival. This year's event takes place at St Mary in the Castle on Saturday, and Blackmarket VIP on Sunday.
For 2020, the event includes additional artists, installations, visual content, workshops and events selected by co-curators Lucy Kork, Ben Thompson and the Sonics' visual team of Adam Seeley, Mauricio Vincenzi and Nick Weekes.
For 2020, our mission is to present the most musically diverse in Sonics’ illustrious history, stretching from local teenage experimental punk rock (Crunchy Bat/The Village Metronome) to a gallery style Saturday afternoon show by David Toop and Rie Nakajima at St Mary In The Castle, via internationally celebrated improvised jazz (Trevor Watts with Grassy Noel & APE), Swiss post-punk (Massicot), major electronic artists (Plaid/Leila/Johanna Bramli), and hip-hop acts with global reach (Gawd Status, DJ Food and Mr Thing).
Free 1-5pm both days. Single evening tickets £10, weekend saver £16. See website for details.
