One day, several ways in
After Friday's Max Cooper 3D/AV opening concert, No Bounds expands across Sheffield on Saturday. Mark Fell starts the Mothership stage at Peddler Warehouse at 15:00, followed by 96 Back, Slikback, gyrofield and Steeze Factory. Mala plays from 20:40 to 22:40, while Blawan closes the main venue live from 22:50.
The programme's strength is not limited to marquee names. Orams x YSWN starts at 14:00 with Magz Hall's radio-based composition and improvisation session, followed by live performances. Factory Floor and other venues advertise free-entry windows, while paid afterparties connect algorave, bass, vinyl culture and community collectives.
Rotherham takes focus on Sunday
On 11 October the Electronic Music Club in Rotherham offers food, talks, workshops, exhibitions and local performances. A Blawan artist talk, a Slikback workshop and a Recovery Community live showcase show how the festival uses international attention for knowledge transfer.
Reader and business value
No Bounds offers a useful model for small and mid-sized festivals: paid headline programming is paired with free city access points, education, galleries and club partnerships. Technology brands, AV suppliers, community radio and cultural funders gain several distinct, measurable surfaces rather than one stage.
