One of our favorite festivals is back this year and fully operational! For over a decade, Prague’s Lunchmeat Festival has become one of Europe’s most innovative events across electronic music and new media. The multi-day event takes place all over the beautiful city and features some of today’s most cutting edge musical and visual artists.
Taking from September 26th to October 1st, Lunchmeat’s 13th edition with a host a number of acclaimed international artists from disparate art spheres. The first names to be announced include legendary electronic music visionaries Squarepusher, set to play in the Czech Republic for the first time under his most famous moniker, and Mike Paradinas AKA μ-Ziq, founder of the famed Planet Mu label, presenting new material after many years of silence. Tri Angle label alumni and witch house forefather Holy Other also returns after a long absence with his first new album in almost a decade and will be joined at Lunchmeat by A/V artists Pedro Maia, and exclusively for Lunchmeat 2022, also by Sian O'Gorman from NYX platform. With her exemplary experimental album for Ostgut Ton, Berlin-based electronic musician JASSS was one of the breakthrough artists of 2021. She will invite listeners into her expansive multi-sensory performance, created with Ben Kreukniet, ex-founder of United Visual Artists.
“This year we are returning with a packed line-up that can finally make use of artists from over the world after two years of pandemic limitations” says Jakub Pešek, founder of Lunchmeat Festival. As is the spirit of every other year, the festival will see distinctive contemporary artists, along with a carefully curated selection of live audiovisual shows that are currently stirring the international scene, represented by both timeless legends and the local scene. “We strive to give our festival-goers an overview of the best things happening right now in the contemporary club and art scene. Each night of the festival is planned so that people get mind- bending concerts, immersive A/V experiences, and also a chance to dance” promises Pešek.
