AMN Reviews: Boundaries Festival 21-22 November 2025
By Lauren Redhead Where should you go to look for contemporary music explosions in November? It used to be that there was no singular answer to this question, but in the last 5 years Boundaries Festival has begun to establish Sunderland as a locus for the experimental, the compelling, the weird and the unknown. While the city is perhaps more widely known for its long history of ship-building than of contemporary music, the festival finds itself amid the city council’s regeneration projects and offers its audiences a new experience and environment to enjoy music in, as well as the music itself.
