One highlight of the exhibition is the Shortwave Collective’s “Edge of Transmission”, where visitors can borrow a radio and explore transmissions around the LCB Depot and Leicester’s Cultural Quarter. Various workshops, gigs, and performances are scheduled throughout the event, spanning from August 30 to September 20, with venues like the Phoenix and The Exchange Bar hosting activities.
The event includes:
- Musical performances, such as jazz, indie, and experimental music nights.

The exhibition invites musicians from Leicester to submit their tracks for a playlist and features artists like Dead Hand, Seth Guy, Lucy Dearlove, and many more. The event aims to immerse the audience in a creative, audio-centric experience across different forms and genres.
