Outlier Festival 2024 Lineup Announced For November

Outlier Festival 2024 Lineup Announced For November

Chris Cudby / Monday 30th September, 2024 3:44PM

Operating on the horizon line of electronic / club-adjacent / experimental aural activity in Aotearoa, Outlier Festival will be taking over Tāmaki Makaurau's Hollywood Avondale and Old Folks Association in late November. Venturing beyond the dancefloor with talks, workshops and installations, curators Grace Verweij and Tash van Schaardenburg have invited a genre-mashing cross-section of sonic practitioners from far and wide to this year's festival — live performers include "9 acts from Tāmaki Makaurau, 11 from around Aotearoa," and two artists based in Naarm, Vanessa Worm and Jannah Quill.

We're particularly looking forward to experiencing this boundary-obliterating lineup within Avondale's historic Hollywood Cinema, accompanied by visual work from East and live VJ projections on the big screen by cyberboy666 (Naarm). Festival passes for all three days are now available — here's the official lowdown, brought to you by the team at Audio Foundation...

"Outlier Festival presents three days of dancefloors, dedicated listening, talks & experiments celebrating the diversity of antipodean electronic music; featuring 9 acts from Tāmaki Makaurau, 11 from around Aotearoa and two acts from across-the-ditch.

Previously produced in 2019 & 2022, organisers Grace Verweij and Tash van Schaardenburg have curated the festival to potentiate both deep listening experiences and unique dancefloors with a programme of live performances and workshops by adventurous and genre-spanning practitioners, including sound installations, new media artwork, glitch, deconstructed club, emo electronics, ambient, gorge, modular synths, hyperpop, maximalist breaks, broken cassettes, mutant classical, ambisonics, technonaturalism, taonga pūoro, drone, IDM, noise, + surprises unearthed from the outliers, explorers and counterforce artists of electronic music.

This new iteration of the acclaimed festival presented by musical non-profit The Audio Foundation will take place across 2-buildings at the historic Hollywood Avondale complex (featuring visual-work from Tāmaki-based artist East and live VJ’ing from Naarm-based cyberboy666 on the Hollywood’s cinema screen) followed by a sonic Sunday school at the Old Folks Association over the 22nd, 23rd & 24th of November."
