We are very happy to be working with Hastings Fat Tuesday again on the graphics and design for the next years festival. We have worked with HFT since 2022 and its a fabulous event that goes from strength to strength every year.

Un-Convention is back again to kick off the 2026 festival!

Tickets for the one-day grassroots music conference are now available from the link in our bio or the White Rock Theatre website.

No matter what area you work in within the music and performance sector, this conference will have something for you. As it's done in years past, the conference will feature panellists from across the music industry sharing their experience and identifying some of the challenges for artists in the modern era.

Un-Convention is a UK based global music network and development agency. Their events and projects bring together artists and practitioners to share knowledge and expertise.
