Hot Box: Sounds Good Festival
Organised by the city’s beloved not-for-profit venue, Hot Box, this two-day event will showcase the vibrant energy of Chelmsford’s and the UK’s emerging and established artists, with a few surprise acts also lined up.
Spread across four iconic Chelmsford locations—Hot Box, Chelmsford Theatre Studio, Tindal Square, and Voodoo Keller Bar—the Sounds Good Festival promises to be a landmark event for the local music scene.
With a line-up of 37 acts, festival-goers can expect a diverse range of music, from indie and rock to electronic and alternative, reflecting the eclectic tastes of today’s music lovers.
As part of its commitment to the local community, the festival will provide hands-on training and experience to 60 young volunteers, offering them a behind-the-scenes look at how grassroots venues and festivals operate.
This initiative reflects Hot Box’s dedication to nurturing the next generation of music industry professionals, and the festival’s community-oriented ethos.
The Sounds Good Festival marks a significant moment for Chelmsford, as it becomes the first multi-venue music festival to take place in the city.
With a mix of intimate performances, outdoor sets, and surprise guest appearances, the festival is poised to re-establish Chelmsford as a key destination for live music in the UK.
Supported by the Essex County Council Arts and Cultural Fund.
