For the last 10 years Sound Summit has been the spiritual homeland of independent artists, labels and nerds creating and working around independent music. Annually the festival explores the depths and reach of innovative sounds and their makers, giving musicians, producers, promoters and fans the opportunity to share ideas, learn new tricks, collaborate and interact with each other like nowhere else.

Traditionally an electronic music and hip hop festival, this year we’ve dropped the genres and opened up the festival to include a wide range of innovative and independent music from Australia and beyond. In 2009 Sound Summit focuses on tying together the missing pieces between outstanding creators and facilitators of music in independent communities, exploring the relationships between music, creativity and commerce, and a whole lot more.

We’re excited to share our 10th birthday with you – it’s a party we’ve been planning all year. Over five days of intimate performances, panels, hands on workshops and heavy duty partying we’re looking forward to investigating, interrogating, getting all culture conscious and having our minds blown, right there beside you.
