OUTER WAVES Festival is a boundary-pushing celebration of alternative music and underground art. Taking place on 24th-25th May 2025 in the North Docks, OUTER WAVES unfolds across Invisible Wind Factory and Make CIC, offering a platform for innovative performances and unique audience experiences.

With a dynamic multi-stage programme, the festival brings together internationally acclaimed artists alongside emerging regional talent. The lineup will span live music, multidisciplinary art, and immersive experiences, all unified by a shared commitment to our alternative creativity community.

Beyond the two-day event, OUTER WAVES will continue to foster artistic growth through year-round programming, artist commissions, and local partnerships.
