In only its second year of inception, Supernormal has already crafted a highly respectable reputation in the crowded summer music calendar. It’s already been named 17th best festival worlwide by the Independent. Quite the accolade.
The devil of the details is often lost on festivals blinded by their ascension and there will be no shortage of them in the sprawling countryside of the artists’ retreat that is the estate of Oxford’s Brazier’s Park.
Established in the summer of 2010 as part of the 15 year strong Brazier International Artists Workshops in the final week, with an exclusive audience of just 500 much in same vein of this year; with debates, international film screenings, artistry, curiosities, music and abstract creations and performance from the most remarkable corners of the mind and world.
The bands and artists at the festival are on their way up and performing for the love of it. The fans are there without hemorrhaging their bank accounts and it makes for a unique and unparalelled atmosphere.
A limited number of tickets are available at £55 right now, though the festival is completely non-profit all festivals need to sell tickets to keep going. This is a great opportunity to support a burgeoning music festival in its infancy and say you were there from the start. Get them here.
