Supersonic Festival returns to Birmingham in 2026 as a smaller, “limited edition” run—but it’s still as uncompromising as ever. The lineup leans hard into experimental territory, from ØXN’s dark, drone-laced folk to boundary-pushing acts like Milkweed, Thorn Wych, and noise-rock provocateurs Prostitute, alongside hardcore, throat-singing, and audiovisual oddities. Offstage, the fest keeps its DIY spirit alive with workshops, art, and offbeat side quests, proving that even scaled down, Supersonic remains one of the most forward-thinking and sonically adventurous festivals out there.

1MU’s Birmingham excursion comes to an end, with reviews and photos of Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Daisy Rickman, ØXN and more.
