I had a wonderful chat with Lisa Meyer, CEO & Artistic Director of @supersonicfest.bsky.social, a few weeks ago!

We talked about defining heavy music, the festival's inception, the challenges they've faced & the resilient spirit of #Supersonic

One of my fave interviews to date. 🖤

I’m stepping out from behind the drums and on to the decks at Birmingham’s @supersonicfest.bsky.social this weekend. This year I’m on the roof spinning a selection filled with eerie atmospheres and haunted psychedelia. A MIGHTY line up & it’s here, in Brum!
