Supersonic Festival returns to Digbeth this weekend (April 25 & 26) with a bold programme of boundary-pushing music. Tickets for the 2026 edition may have sold out in minutes, but there’s plenty you can still experience thanks to the return of the free-to-access Market Place at Zellig.
In partnership with The Goths Playground, the Market Place is open to all on Saturday (April 25), and will bring together record sellers, zine-makers, illustrators, DIY designers and purveyors of curious handmade goods from rare vinyl to beautifully crafted oddities. The 2026 edition will be made up of handpicked independent vendors, including:
- Black Raven (taxidermy/florist fusion)
- Steel Kill (stainless steel chainwear)
- Dean of The Dead’s horror-themed hot sauce
- Black Lodge Press (DIY queer culture and working-class history zines and prints)
- Boulderdash Zine (for enthusiasts of stones, drones and noise)
- Artist and illustrator Bunny Bissoux
- Independent record label Mute Records
- Miss Goodweather (bold, vintage- inspired waterproof clothing and accessories)
- Buffs Studio (handmade, darkly delicious crochet gifts)
But the Market Place is more than just shopping. Throughout the day, visitors can take part in a lively programme of free drop-in activities, including Supersonic workshops with Craftspace Collective Shelanu and Block Printed Protest Banners with artist Natasha Taheem.
If that wasn’t enough, House of Thieves Tattoo will be holding a special walk-in flash day, right in the heart of the market—all the artists will have lots of new flash designs to celebrate Supersonic.
And if you need to refuel, stop by the Supersonic Tea Bar for cakes (including vegan and gluten-free options), our favourite pocket snack, the mighty samosa, plus drinks from Attic Brew Co and a festival special cocktail. Grab a treat, rest your feet and enjoy the sounds courtesy of our guest Supersonic DJs.
