SoundWave have places available at Solfest to help us develop new work and meet new young people.
Solfest have a workshop tent and a family arena, plenty of music to listen to, but they want more activities for people your age. SoundWave think that with your help and ideas we can offer it!
If you’ve got a bit of free time to come early on the Friday of Solfest, we can develop ideas together and get ready to put them into action. Instruments are welcome – but everything must be unplugged.
In exchange for a maximum of 10 hours of your time over the festival, you will be able to buy a young person’s ticket at the bargain price of £25 instead of £62!
To receive your reduced price ticket, get in touch with your ideas about what SoundWave could offer young people at Solfest by emailing
