4:00pm – Cabaret Voltaire In Conversation

Ahead of Cabaret Voltaire’s final UK concert, Stephen Mallinder and Chris Watson will be in conversation with author and journalist Daniel Dylan Wray, looking back on their rich legacy as pioneers of electronic music. They will reflect upon their early days in Sheffield, where it all started, experimenting with tape loops, Dadaism and making a provocative racket, via becoming hugely influential figures in the worlds of industrial, dance and sound design, before returning in incendiary form in 2025 to mark 50 years since their first gig. Truly one of contemporary music’s real innovators, join the pair as they finally draw the curtain on a half century history of innovation.
