Sheffield’s place in the history and development of electronic music is already well established – from the early experiments of Cabaret Voltaire and the Human League’s creation of synth-pop, through Warp and Forgemasters bastardising techno into a whole new world, before Niche kickstarted heavy 00s party vibes.
No Bounds builds on this lineage and culture to bring a weekend of bleeps, beats and sweaty grins to this industrial city we call home.
Since starting out in 2017, the festival has been refreshingly multidisciplinary in its approach, bringing together forward-thinking music, visual art, poetry, panel discussions and workshops.
For its seventh edition in 2024, No Bounds will be taking over 11 venues in Sheffield and Rotherham – including Sheffield Cathedral, SADACCA (Sheffield And District African Caribbean Community Association), and Chapel Of Our Lady in Rotherham. There'll even be a special interactive element in the hidden depths of the Cole Brothers' building (formerly John Lewis) devised by local electronic music innovator Mark Fell. All culminating with all-night raves at Hope Works.
Also on the lineup: The Black Dog, Rain Treanor x Cara Tolmie, Pxssy Palace, John Chowning, Winston Hazel, Lupini, Gracie T, MYNA, Ashley Holmes, Mondo Radio, Algorave, Pattern + Push, The Beatriarchy, and lots, lots more.
