The festival will run in Brighton from Thursday 3rd to Sunday 6th November and will feature music performances from 75 of the most exciting, inspirational and relevant artists, performing over the four exuberant days.

Born in 2015, the genre melting Mutations 001 set the foundation for its daring line-ups to come. 2019 saw a mysterious venue unearthed on the outskirts of the city as Mutations 002 evolved into a powerhouse of creative exploration and Mutations 003 took place across Brighton & Hove last November. Mutations Festival is an ever evolving and unforeseen meeting of like minded music fans, hungry to uncover the unknown and the unexpected.
