Lunchmeat Festival

Lunchmeat Festival, hosted in Prague’s picturesque cityscape of architectural wonders, is a daring showcase of advanced electronic music and new media art.

Since its inaugural edition in 2010, Lunchmeat Festival has hosted an eclectic mix of renowned global electronic artists like Squarepusher, Helena Hauff and the late SOPHIE. However, it stands out for its boundary-pushing audiovisual collaborations in particular, bringing together creators from different art spheres on one stage each year. Notable examples include Dasha Rush's Aurora Cerebralis, a show that combined spatial sound design with visuals depicting cerebral activity; festival-goers have also been treated to Ethno Service's techno set in the past, which was paired with Štěpán Marek's atmospheric visuals.

Emphasising equality in its programming, Lunchmeat presents a platform where all acts are considered equal, moving away from traditional headliner hierarchies. The festival’s venues, like its adventurous programming, are carefully chosen too and align well with the event’s avant-garde spirit. Attendees can experience future-facing experimental sonics in the National Gallery (Veletržní palác), a landmark of Czech Functionalist architecture; or, there’s the Archa Theatre, housed inside a Rondo-Cubist style building.

With its rich array of electronic music and art, Lunchmeat Festival is a must-visit for enthusiasts intrigued by the dynamic blend of experimental music, art and technology.

Lunchmeat Festival is one of the finalists for Trippin 50, a cultural calendar featuring the best events around the world. Check out the Trippin 50 hub here.
