From Friday 21st to Sunday 23rd August 2015, Extra Normal Records presents Contra Pop Festival, a three-day event encompassing live performances from some of the foremost artists working at the intersection of popular music and the avant-garde.
This diverse congregation of musicians epitomises a vibrant European scene far from the clutches of the corporate opportunists who threaten to homogenise pop culture.
Contra Pop 2015 will boast a purpose-built stage and sound system located on the sandy beach of the historic town of Ramsgate in Kent.
With entry free of charge, local and international beers available on the premises and a variety of cafés and restaurants only a stone’s throw away, Contra Pop 2015 is a rare opportunity to absorb the cutting edge of the musical underground in a quintessential seaside setting.
