about

Sound Unseen is a festival for music lovers which is based in Mpls and now tours the world. Music documentaries, rare concert footage, and interactive cinema is showcased alongside live music from new bands and musicians who we think will make an impact. We're also well-known for our one-of-a-kind parties and events (we are not hyping here), great people and an experience which no other festival can touch. We love it, and hopefully you will to.
