Preview: Simple Things 2019
2018 saw incredible performances at Simple Things festival in Bristol. Helena Hauff, Slowdive, Kamaal Williams and Black Midi, among so many others, pulled out all the stops for a few days of experimental, boundary-breaking music.
Simple Things returns on October 17-19 this year, to yet again celebrate innovation in the industry, across various venues including Colston Hall, IMAX, Planetarium, SWX, Lakota, We The Curious, Rough Trade, Studio 5 and more.
Simple Things 2019 will open at We The Curious’ IMAX cinema on October 18. From 7-11pm, there will be a premiere of a new audio-visual performance “10000 Peacock Feathers in Foaming Acid” from William Basinki, Evelina Domnitch and Dmitry Gelfand. Expect lots of lasers and lots of bubbles.
