The first Phonic Fest is taking place on Saturday 30 July at Exeter Phoenix to raise money for Phonic FM, Exeter’s community radio station.
There will a day of live music from local artists including:
- Indie shoegaze trio Soot Sprite
- Feminist punks Okay, Bye
- Punk poets Spitting Blood
- Indie pop solo artist Saff Juno
- Alt-rockers Josh DC & The Anti-Heroes
with more to be announced. Phonic FM DJs will also play on the Exeter Phoenix terrace.
Phonic FM has its origins in a radio station set up in 2003 to support Exeter’s annual Vibraphonic Festival with a fortnight of event previews and a fortnight covering the festival itself each year.
Exeter Community Radio Ltd was subsequently granted a full-time Ofcom broadcasting licence in 2007, with Phonic FM launching on 15 February 2008.
Phonic FM broadcasts on 106.8FM, online and via the RadioPlayer UK and TuneIn apps.
It will also be available on DAB+ radio from summer 2022.
Phonic Fest is at 2pm on Saturday 30 July 2022 at Exeter Phoenix.
Tickets are £10 via the Exeter Phoenix website.
