KNOB New Music Festival 2026

January 29-31, doors at 7:30, shows start at 8.

We’ve switched from November to January, but the festival is still the knobfest you love: three days of experimental, ground-breaking, unique, occasionally challenging but always thought-provoking music and multi-disciplinary performance.

This year, the featured artist is Lindsay Lion Lord, whose MFA thesis exhibition is currently hanging in the gallery. Her poster and t-shirt design is inspired by this new body of textile work, entitled An Infinite Container. More information about Lindsay, the show, and her practice.

Admission per night is $10 at the door, no advance ticket sales.
