Fat Out Fest is returning next month, bringing some of the UK’s most innovative leftfield artists and music to venues all across Salford.
From 20 September to Sunday 22 September, the festival will take in gigs in Islington Mill, Peel Hall and The Working Class Movement Library.
Among those on this year’s bill will be boundary-pushing acts like Brazilian producer and DJ LYZZA, audiovisual artist Hypersea and Homoelectric favourite, DJ Kim Lana.
They join previously announced artists like bewitching folk songwriter Angeline Morrison, avante-punk Nuha Ruby Ra, hybrid rock-rap trio Third Kulture and renowned NTS DJ & broadcaster Zakia.
Opening the festival will be an interactive performance from Hypersea, the artist name of machine-learning experimentalist and Working Men’s Club synth player, Hannah Cobb.
The limited capacity show takes place on Friday 20 September at Salford Museum & Art Gallery. This is followed by an Islington Mill afterparty featuring Violet Blonde with DJ Duckdown, plus performances from Cabbage The Clown, Lesion, Lionel Bitchie, Palace Plastick and Sam Buttery. Mirage Bar next door will see a performance from Manchester rapper Che3kz and Japanese live techno artist s/h/u/y/a .
Other weekend highlights include alternative folk collective Calliope playing at Peel Hall on Sunday 22 September, and an exhibition of tapestries by queer artist Eve Frances in Islington Mill for the duration of the festival.
Fat Out Founder Emma Thompson said: “I’m really excited to see Fat Out seep out into more spaces this year, taking our freaky sounds and queer energy further into Salford! There’s so much gorgeous music and visual art to be excited about, which as always has been collaboratively brought together by our amazing programme partners.”
