Sonic Acts Biennial 2026
by sonicacts
A curated playlist bringing together essential albums by the musicians and sound artists featured on the lineup
Taking place in Amsterdam from 5 February to 29 March – with the intensive festival weekend running from 26 February to 1 March – the Sonic Acts Biennial 2026 spans more than 80 events and 20 venues. The programme features cutting-edge performances, adventurous sound experiments, and multidisciplinary art by over 200 international and local artists.
Titled Melted for Love, the Biennial reimagines home not as a physical structure, but as a site of invitation, attentiveness, and care.
