Sonic City is a 3-day music festival focused on artistic freedom of the festival’s curator, a unicum in the music industry. It's not a rock festival, it's not a free jazz festival, it's not an electronic festival. But it very well could be. It’s a music festival for all.

Connecting professionals and ideas
