Returning for its eighth edition from 10-12 October, No Bounds Festival will take over various venues across Sheffield and Rotherham to explore the theme of Grit & Graft.

Phase two of this year’s line-up invites Manchester DJ and producer Interplanetary Criminal to the festival, as well as Tash LC, Josi Devil, Silva Snipa, and Sheffield-based group The Black Dog. 

Curated by Mark Fell and Rian Treanor, No Bounds’ Sunday programme will explore Rotherham through a series of performances, panel discussions, dance choreography and workshops. The line-up includes shows from RP Boo, Beatrice Dillon, Gamelan Installation, and Bianca Scout & Rian Treanor performing live with Clifton Community School. There will also be an artist panel discussion hosted by Rotherham Friends of Palestine, with Terre Thaemlitz calling in digitally alongside Hafsah Yusfi, Mahshid Alavi and others.

The festival has also announced the return of its arts programme this year, showcasing curation by Amy Carter Gordon entitled Switch Room in addition to a unique collaboration with Arts Catalyst.
