Futuresonic 2008, 1-5 May (Manchester)

February 19th, 2008

An annual festival of art, music and ideas, which is currently in its 12th year, Futuresonic occupies the orbits of both music and digital culture.

Extending the focus in recent years on presenting artworks in unexpected city spaces, and on social art and social technologies, the 2008 theme is The Social - Social Networking Unplugged.

The RZA - the genius behind Wu-Tang Clan and producer of soundtracks for Kill Bill and Ghost Dog - headlines as Bobby Digital in a showcase of leftfield hip-hop, celebrating the creative spirit behind contemporary experimentation in the genre. Plus Venetian Snares, Luke Vibert, Chrome Hoof, Rustie, Zombie Zombie, The Chap, MIT and many more in a cross-section of international mavericks, risk-takers, boundary-breakers and radical music-makers at over 30 venues city-wide.
