Shadowlands festival will premiere in July 2027 at Canterbury’s Gulbenkian Arts Centre, presenting a four-day program of alternative, electronic, avant-garde, and experimental music. The inaugural lineup features notable acts including Foetus performing as a 20-piece chamber orchestra in a rare UK appearance after 25+ years, Lustmord returning to British stages following nearly two decades away, and Githead reuniting after a 13-year hiatus with Colin Newman, Malka Spiegel, and Robin Rimbaud. Additional performers span Test Dept, Clock DVA, The Wolfgang Press, Regis, :Zoviet*France:, and others. Co-founded by David Sefton, former Meltdown curator, the event emphasizes artists operating outside mainstream trends rather than emerging talents. The festival, capped at 450 attendees, runs across three venues with live performances, discussions, and film programming. Early-bird tickets cost £240, with further acts announced in August 2026.
