Edgelands

A season of sounds from lesser travelled regions, hosted by Colchester Arts Centre


Runs from 9 Jul 2024 to 20 Apr 2025

Edgelands is a special extended season of exciting new, experimental, highly alternative musical forms, at Colchester Arts Centre.

Curated with passion and a desire to shine a light on the lesser visited sonic realms, we invite you to dive into an aural landscape that may be somewhat off the beaten track - but in our view all the more beguiling for it.

With an international array of artists ranging from as far as Indonesia, Hong Kong, Latvia, North America and the Faroe Islands, each night also features supporting acts from Colchester and the surrounding areas, covering a dizzying variety of genres from cut n' paste / plunderphonics to ambient, industrial noise and the downright unclassifiable.

Come and take a trek into the wilderness with us - it's going to be a hell of a trip...
