Profound Sound

Profound Sound offers a truly alternative music and performance festival for East Kent. The co-curated programme brings an experimental festival to Folkestone, combining music, sound and performance, with DIY-feel workshops and installations from some of the most diverse artists and practitioners in the world today.

Folkestone Fringe are beyond thrilled to announce that Profound Sound is back. In collaboration with Hot Salvation Records, the seventh instalment of Folkestone’s experimental sound & music festival continues to platform local and international experimental sonic talent, inspiring and creating opportunities within the town and provoking with the intent to bring about collective joy through immersion in music.

Together with Outlands Newtork, this year’s edition shines an audio spotlight into the dark nights of February solidifying Folkestone's dedication to experimental music; combining music, sound and performance with DIY - inspired workshops and installations. This festival experience comes as a package - 14 events across a handful of venues continuing to champion the under 23's go free initiative.

The weekend programme of headline shows will not only blow your mind because of their variety but because, collectively, they represent the soundtrack to what we should all be experiencing as sentient beings…living, listening and learning in 2024.

Folkestone Fringe are switching things up a bit this year by extending the opportunity to experience diverse forms of music & sound art - and the community togetherness that comes with it - from starting in February through to the months beyond. Additional activities & events will be announced soon, so keep your eyes & ears peeled.
