RIP Peter Rehberg - a terrible loss to experimental music. As well as being a great musician himself, Peter supported the work of so many artists. His label Mego's influence will endure long into the future.

The Unsound 2020 theme is Intermission, a word with multiple, perhaps even contradictory meanings in the context of the present moment. The festival will take a unique form in response to our current reality. Read more here:

Ever since Unsound Tbilisi in 2012, the city has a huge place in our hearts. Incredible how its music scene has blossomed. Recent events show nothing will stop this, as well as underlining the fact this isn't just about entertainment, but the desire for self-expression.
