Unsound 2025 lands once again in Kraków from 7th until 12th of October this year.
This year’s theme is built around “WEB”, applied to a cluster of autumn festivals with Kraków at its heart, which also applies to the connected editions in Osaka and New York.
In 2025, Unsound have found a new home within the Henryk Reyman Municipal Stadium, where they’ll bring festival goers a soundsystem, lighting and set to create a temporary multi-room club. The program will include live shows, experimental interventions, and as always an array of club music from around the globe.
Special projects at Unsound 2025 include River of Fundament, the operatic experimental film by American artist Matthew Barney and composer Jonathan Bepler. Commissioned projects will build webs across borders, including Polish producer 2K88 joining forces with rising UK artists Lauren Duffus, Bianca Scout and Rainy Miller.
Japanese sound artist FUJI|||||||||||TA and American experimentalist Ka Baird perform together at Unsound Kraków and Osaka for the first time, as will legendary footwork producer RP Boo with Polish drummer Gary Gwadera.
Unsound: WEB will also present numerous pioneers, tracing their influence on today’s music, such as Jim O’Rourke, who teams up with Japan’s Eiko Ishibashi. Suzanne Ciani and Actress will present their new collaborative show titled Concrète Waves. Cult US rapper billy woods, meanwhile, shepherds us through the past, present and future of underground hip-hop.
Bands feature prominently this year, including those with acclaimed new releases: UK 8-piece Caroline,American experimental rock outlet YHWH Nailgun, Norway’s Smerz, and Moin – the fruitful collaboration of Valentina Magaletti and Raime.
Passes are on sale today at 3pm via Resident Advisor. After this, Unsound Club Passes and individual tickets will go on sale following the second announcement.
