As is tradition we finish the festival within the charming, stunning Sunderland Minster.
A beautiful space perfect for the final moments of Boundaries. Every artist is chosen specifically for each location, so having the right performer for The Minster is vital & this year we had them in abundance!

The City Hall is a brand new addition to the Boundaries locations & if im honest i was a little concerned it was too grand and cold looking...But my concerns were quickly erased when the lights were dimmed, the crowds arrived & the artists turned up & tore the roof off. Its such a fantastic space!

Poprecs is such a vital location not only for Boundaries but Sunderland in general. A community hub that supports all & welcomes all. Poprecs need to be protected & supported. The opening show was truly fun & frantic! Alex Mackay, The Unit Ama, Rhodri Davies and Aja Ireland all brought their A Game

Ive been listening to Hyperdawn for a while now and thought they would be great in The Minster on Saturday night.
It was a personal highlight for me, one of many throughout the 2 days. Its genuinely inspiring stuff. So happy to see them reach new fans too. Their style and sound is so unique...

This isn’t a brag, I genuinely don’t understand how it’s ended up being just me, a 47-year-old bloke from a Sunderland council estate with no money, who’s got the ambition, ideas & motivation to put on a show like Boundaries
There are nearly 300,000 people living in Sunderland!
Don't get it..

The response to the compilation call out has been nothing short of incredible with so many artists i admire sending exclusive tracks to help support Boundaries & the Crowdfunding campaign. It truly feels like a community on the same wavelength coming together. Unreleased Arnold Dreyblatt anyone!?!

Party.
Somewhere the party never ends
creaking with dust and habit
hypnotic hum/repetitive fun
lingering like burnt perfume
chill out room
full of worn out vowels
no chance of sleep
heartbeats beat beat...
