SHHH //

“Standing up against the noise-mongers of the world.”   //  THE LINE OF BEST FIT

“Brings together a number of lo-fi, anti-noiseniks - if you’re one of those idiots who likes to chat through bands with your bored/boring mate about how you arrange your sock drawer then this probably isn’t the event for you.”   //  JOCKNROLL

“Different from the norm and more than a little bit special.”   //  THE ARTS DESK

SHHH is the quiet music festival, developed by London music hub THE LOCAL and visual artist LUKE DROZD, featuring guest curators (previously RM HUBBERT, RACHAEL DADD) and brought to you in conjunction with industry partners such as CHEMIKAL UNDERGROUND and THE LINE OF BEST FIT. Already in it's eighth year, SHHH festival has welcomed International artists including SAM AMIDON, THIS IS THE KIT, EMMA POLLOCK (DELGADOS), GRAVENHURST, PHILDEL, Mercury Music Prize nominated JON HOPKINS, WOUNDED KNEE, STUART BRAITHWAITE (MOGWAI) and STILL CORNERS to events in London, Glasgow and Leeds.

The intimate style of the events has proved a fantastic platform for impromtu cameo sets from the likes of BETH ORTON, NICO MUHLY and DAVID THOMAS BROUGHTON over the years, too.
