SONIC CITY 2026

Sonic City Festival is an alternative 3-day music fest in Kortrijk, Belgium where eclecticisim is key and discovery is imminent. The Sonic City concept is clear and simple: curators are appointed and receive all the artistic freedom to select and handpick the line-up.The goal of the festival is to treat those music lovers that surf right beneath the
mainstream to a weekend where discovery, mix-ups and musical eclecticism are
key. Sonic City is a place where small, emerging bands share the stage with bigger
ones, where genres and subgenres melt together into one coherent entity. And this is
exactly what makes Sonic City special: it's not a rock festival, it's not a free jazz
festival, it's not an electronic festival. But it very well could be. By selecting the right
curator - a band, an artist, a DJ with a clear open-mindedness towards musical
diversity - Sonic City can be anything. But above all, the festival exhibits the vision of
the curator(s) on the contemporary music scene.
