Music Education Islington

A festival for young people, by young people. The New Sounds Festival 2026 is a live music event celebrating the creativity and talent of young musicians aged 13–25.

New Sounds Festival is more than just a performance; it’s a space where young artists come together to share what matters to them through music. The concert will feature a curated evening of live performances and recorded works, from original compositions to fresh interpretations of well-known songs. Every piece connects to this year’s theme: “What do you stand for?”

Produced by the Young Event Producers, audiences can expect a night that feels honest, expressive, and full of new voices.
