Sono-Electro 2024



Awarded funding by Arts Council England

Sono-Electro is a festival dedicated to sound art taking place in West St Leonards, inviting artists and audiences alike to examine their relationship with place through hyper-local interventions that touch on broader global environmental narratives.



In dark times, while we can’t see ahead, we can still listen clearly. That’s why exploring themes of belonging through sound is important right now.


Sono-Electro is a festival dedicated to sound art taking place in West St Leonards, inviting artists and audiences alike to examine their relationship with place through hyper-local interventions that touch on broader global environmental narratives.


In one year, the festival has skyrocketed from a crowd-funded, four-day festival that brought together a handful of talented local artists into a two-week event supported locally by the likes of Hastings Commons and funded on a national level by the Arts Council.


Local experimental and underground music champions: Sonics Hastings and Sonic storytelling platform: XMTR, are guest curating the line-up for Saturday 21st and Saturday 28th September.
