SUMMARY:Make Hamilton: Outer Waves 2026
DESCRIPTION:Outer Waves 2026: Liverpool’s Experimental Arts Festival Retu
 rns — May 23–24\, 2026\nFollowing an acclaimed debut in 2025\, Outer W
 aves Festival returns to Liverpool this spring for its second edition\, ta
 king place May 23–24\, 2026\, across Invisible Wind Factory and Make Nor
 th Docks.\nOuter Waves is a weekend of boundary-pushing sound\, performanc
 e\, and art — a gathering for the curious and the sonically adventurous.
  This year’s programme brings together an international roster of artist
 s exploring ritual\, rhythm\, and raw emotion in all their forms.\nThe 202
 6 lineup features OXN (featuring Radie Peat of Lankum)\, weaving Irish f
 olk mysticism through droning electronics\; Dame Area\, the Catalan duo k
 nown for their percussive industrial minimalism\; Jarboe &amp\; Thor Harr
 is (Swans)\, two legendary figures of transcendent experimental rock\; W
 aq Waq Kingdom from Japan\, fusing psychedelic dance and tribal bass\; Sy
 rian musician Mohammad Syfkhan\, whose euphoric reinterpretations of Dabk
 e music ignite dance floors\; Liverpool art collective a.P.A.t.T.\, maste
 rs of genre-defying chaos\; the ever-anarchic Unstoppable Sweeties Show\;
  and Domestic Partners\, bringing surreal\, queer performance pop.\nBeyon
 d the performances\, Outer Waves 2026 will host workshops\, panel discussi
 ons\, commissions and art installations\, with further details to be annou
 nced. As the sun sets\, the celebration continues with after-parties at Qu
 arry\, featuring guest DJs\, live collaborations\, and immersive late-nigh
 t experiences.\nOn this year’s festival\, the organisers comment:\n“Ou
 ter Waves celebrates the wild\, the wonderful\, and the weird. It’s a me
 eting point for those who see art as a form of resistance and transformati
 on — a space where sound and performance collide.”\nEarly bird tickets
  are available Monday 3rd November @ 12pm via Resident Advisor &amp\; www
 .outer-waves.co.uk.\n\nAbout Outer Waves\nFounded in 2024\, Outer Waves is
  an independent Liverpool-based festival dedicated to experimental sound\,
  art\, and performance. Presented in collaboration with LIPA\, the Musicia
 ns’ Union\, Outlands Network\, and DaDaFest\, the 2026 edition reflects
