Festival
New Sounds Festival Concert 2026
Barbican Centre
The New Sounds Festival inverts the usual festival formula: the performers aren't hand-picked by some outside authority. Instead, it's run by and for young musicians aged 13 to 25, celebrating the creativity coming from inside that generation. You're hearing live music where the people on stage and the people behind the vision are peers.
If you're between 13 and 25, this is your generation's festival. If you're older and want to know what young London sounds like right now, unfiltered, this is the direct access. Live music at Barbican.
