About

Unsound is one of the world’s most influential festivals and platforms of electronic and experimental music. Established in 2003 in its hometown of Kraków, the festival has taken place in over 30 cities, and is always focused on adventurous sounds and building collaborations across borders.

The first-ever Unsound Festival in Japan will take place in Osaka from September 5 - 7, alongside major autumn festivals in New York and Kraków. The main focus is on Polish and Japanese artists, with headliners, legends and rising names. Many are collaborating for the first time, or presenting special projects. The first announcement includes the main program at Creative Center Osaka, VS Centre and the Ohtsuki Noh Theatre. A second announcement is coming soon, focused on late night club music in smaller clubs across Osaka, as well as the outdoor local DJ stage at Creative Center Osaka.

The majority of the program has been made possible through a collaboration with the Polish Investment Trade Agency as a part of the Week of Polish Culture in Osaka. To ensure the festival is accessible to a wide and curious audience, tickets are very reasonably priced, with all funds used to support local event production.
