03/08/14 - Highlighters at the ready
Well this is as final as it’s getting. For now. You’ve waited long enough, so here’s what we’ve got in store for next weekend’s festivities (ignore the numbering – it’ll make sense in the programme).
02/07/14 - Final Acts revealed for SN2014
Once again, August is breathing down our neck. With less than 6 weeks until Braziers Park opens its gates, we have a few more treats to reveal. A major project for Supernormal 2014 will be a series of commissioned artist produced billboards. We are re- purposing the billboard’s objective, shifting its location from the urban […]
30/05/14 - More everything for Supernormal
With a little more than 2 months to go before this year’s festival, we are thrilled to announce another slew of innovative and exciting music art and activities. There’s still a few more bands to announce, along with lots more activities and artists in the coming weeks. We are delighted to welcome… BRONNT INDUSTRIES KAPITAL […]
25/04/14 - First wave of arts now online
Things to see, things to hear, things to do… even something to smell. Once again, Supernormal brings a multidisciplinary spectrum of arts to Braziers park including installation, dance, intervention, performance and sound. We can also announce that this year’s film programme will be presented in The People’s Palace. This beautiful travelling cinema was built from […]
22/04/14 - Arts announcement coming this Friday
It’s always been a core ideal of Supernormal that the arts programme should take an equal footing with the music programme. Why then, does the music always get announced first? Essentially, the curation process is much more complicated and time consuming for the arts. The majority of bands know roughly what they’ll be doing from […]
11/04/14 - Part Chimp and more for SN14
Running the gamut from Robert E. Howard-esque doom to reanimated charity shop artefacts, and from traditional Northumbrian folk songs to Anime-infliuenced future funk from a world dominated by pizza, the latest additions to Supernormal’s bill are as uncompromising as they are invigorating. Riffs, robots and relentless innovation are all on the agenda for this August […]
03/03/14 - First acts announced for 2014
Supernormal 2014 marks both the fifth year of the festival and also the twentieth year of Braziers International Artists Workshop, from whence Supernormal evolved. Although the festival’s been through plenty of changes since its first year in 2010, the spirit of iconoclasm and adventure at the heart of it is exactly the same. In 2014 […]
24/07/13 - Day Tickets & Timetables
Good news for those of you that aren’t able to make the whole weekend – we’ve just put a very limited number of 1 day passes on sale. They’re available on the tickets page now. Simply choose the day you want on the drop down menu, and you’re away! Tickets are £30 for Friday, £40 […]
17/07/13 - Even finaller announcement!

Glad musical tidings from: Comanechi Caravan of Whores Soul Punch Feature Unicorndad vrs Robodad Weird Menace SuperGroupExtreme Artful shenanigans from: Rachael House’s Feminist Disco Diamanda and I The Experimental […]
17/07/13 - Thee Bald Knobbers: Church of Chaos
Casting one’s mind back to last year’s festival brings up many a clouded memory. Amongst these, for plenty, will be the madness that ensued on the Saturday afternoon. Bathed in early afternoon sunshine the disco tent was, as far as we remember, a rather relaxed place to be. Enter Thee Bald Knobbers, a loose collection […]
