Plug it Up is a festival showcasing artists who use sound in their work. During the day, we have workshops led by artists for people to experience different ways of working with sound creatively. In the evening, we have performances by international artists who have contributed enormously to the scene. Anyone can attend evening performances and Sundays family day, but for the first two days workshops are specifically for people who identify as women or marginalised genders.

Although events are FREE, workshops are limited space capped at 20 for distributions of available materials, performances at 60 due to fire regulations.
