From June to August, the third edition of the music festival brings bass, beats and stories of resistance to the HKW roof terrace.

 

Sonic Pluriverse Festival: Bass Cultures explores the culture of sound systems as a global phenomenon. From rich reggae beats to powerful dubstep drops, the program combines experiences, dialogues and sound practices in an international exchange. In live performances, musicians deeply rooted in bass cultures mix rhythms and melodies to create stories of resistance and solidarity. Throughout the summer of 2025, Sonic Pluriverse Festival: Bass Cultures will present various programs in the afternoons as well as concerts and DJ sets in the evenings. The festival stands as a space for cultural exchange and community dialog, as a meeting place for voices, rhythms and stories.

With Ana Tijoux, André Marie Tala & The Tchamassi Band, Boukman Eksperyans, Jowee Omicil, Kumbia Boruka, Les Mamans du Congo & Rrobin, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Manou Gallo, Mohini Dey, Mokoomba, Novalima, Queen Omega & The Royal Souls, Perera Elsewhere, The Congos, The Dhol Foundation, Ti Moris et al.
