Foundations Festival This Month

Salford festival presents two days of experimental rock and electronic music

In what will be the festival’s first year running, Foundations Festival is to be held from November 25-26 at the King’s Arms pub in Salford.

Foundations has arisen from a collaboration between two Manchester record labels, AnalogueTrash and Valentine Records, both of which specialise in experimental rock and electronic music. Over the course of the two-day period, the festival will play host to music, multimedia film, art and other related performance pieces.

Presently, the line-up features Syd.31, Factory Acts, Susi O’Neill, Babyslave, Vieon, Mark Corrin and DJ sets from Interference (tQ’s John Doran & Lone Taxidermist) and Ten Mouth Electron. Aside from a line-up of punk, industrial and synth-pop, Foundations Festival will be hosting live art installations and a poetry vs. noise collaboration via the project Transient Noise Bursts With Announcements. Foundations on Screen, a series of shorts and promos by Andy Green, will also be played during the event.

Tickets are available on the Foundations Festival website at £15 for the whole weekend. Day tickets will be made available closer to the time of the event.
