Sound Summit put on hiatus

Sydney’s Sound Summit Festival of Independent and Innovative Music is taking a break this year.

“The ongoing financial viability of the festival has been a major factor in this decision, with Sound Summit currently seeking out a range of funding and partnership options within a revised business plan,” MusicNSW Executive Officer Kirsty Brown told TMN.

Sound Summit started in Newcastle in 2000 as part of This Is Not Art (TINA) Festival. It became a stand-alone in 2011 and moved to Sydney last year.
