Audio Foundation presents…

OUTLIER FESTIVAL
Three days of experimental and exploratory electronic music from Aotearoa  

Outlier Festival presents three days of genre-spanning music reflecting the diversity of Aotearoa’s experimental electronic music scene; including EBM, glitch, footwork, deconstructed club, ambient, cumbia, synthpop, hyperpop, cowgirl breaks, concrete music, goblin-core, dubstep, leftfield bass, power electronics, techno, taonga pūoro, drone, IDM, noise, neo-folk, industrial-sonics, coded music, splatter, slambient + everything in between!

First produced  in 2019, artistic directors Grace Verweij (Sequentia, Related Articles) and Tash van Schaardenburg (Citacsy) have reimagined the festival to potentiate both deep listening experiences and unique dancefloors with a programme of exclusively live and original sets by adventurous electronic practitioners from around the country. 

Presented by The Audio Foundation, the festival  will take place across Whammy Bar, Whammy Backroom, Artspace and the Auckland Unitarian Church over the 7th, 8th & 9th of October.

Out-of-town treats include  Whanganui-a-Tara/Wellington artists Current Bias, Benny Salvador, E/N/T, and Cave Circles; Synthetic Children hails  from Papaioea/Palmerston North; and  Big Flip the Massive from Ōtautahi/Christchurch, and Synthesized Waves from Waihōpai/Invercargill hop over from  Te Wai Pounamu alongside local artists Briar Mead, Ex-Partner, Fern, Flo Wilson, Vanessa Worm, i.e. crazy, Ike Zwanikken, P.H.F, M4URI M4STA, Mr Sic, 3PT, Samara Alofa, and Veale Moss.
