Julian Cope's new project for Birmingham's Supersonic

Gravetemple join Asva, Battles, Harmonia and others on line-up

Monday 17th March 2008


This year's Supersonic Festival held at The Custard Factory in Digbeth, Birmingham have announced the latest additions to the line-up and they include Gravetemple the project featuring Julian Cope with Stephen O'Malley of Sunn fame, Orem Ombarchi and Attila Csihar from Mayhem!

Also confirmed are Asva, featuring Stuart Dahlquist (Sunn/Goatsnake/Burning Witch), Trey Spurance (Mr Bungle) and Edgy 59 (vocalist from Burning Witch) who return to our shores for their first shows in two years, and an Osaka Invasion in the form of DJ Scotch Egg, Ove Naxx, and a load of other Japanese acts.

Also confirmed for the event running from Friday 11th to Sunday 13th July are Battles, Harvey Milk, Efterklang, Harmonia, Noxagt, Earth, Wooden Shjips, Thrones, Oxbow, Justice Yeldman, Dalek, Orthodox, Black Sun, The Owl Service, Max Tundra, Magnetaphone, Pcm, Einstellung, and Guapo.

The Supersonic festival aims to be an eclectic and experimental playground where new and emergent talent exhibit their skills alongside established and world-renowned practitioners. Whilst the focus is on experimental music, Supersonic acts as an umbrella for creative practice in any media or art form.

There's also a film programme and exhibitions as well as record and food stalls, flea market, cake and a tequila bar.

Tickets for this event go on sale in April, and prices for tickets will be confirmed when they do.
