Supersonic Festival is a yearly music festival in Birmingham featuring a combination of music, art, film and other crafts.[1] It is regarded as one of the leading experimental festivals in the UK due to its eclectic and diverse approach to music programming, crossing a number of genres, and its commitment to seeking out new and challenging performances.[2][3][4][5]

The festival was first held in 2003 at the Custard Factory arts centre in Digbeth and has used warehouses, galleries and other venues in the area in subsequent years.[6][7]
