Basilica Hudson’s signature music festival presented in collaboration with The Creative Independent — is proud to present a weekend of art and music in a beautifully reclaimed post-industrial setting right at the Hudson River’s epic waterfront, presenting some of the world’s most exciting and boundary-pushing performers with a special emphasis on ecstatic noise, poets, and the written word.
Curated by Melissa Auf der Maur, Brandon Stosuy, and Tony Stone, along with guest curation from David Castillo of St. Vitus and writer Jenn Pelly, 2025 marks Basilica Hudson’s 15 year anniversary, and marks the 10th iteration of Basilica SoundScape. A decade in, and Basilica SoundScape continues to look for ways to bring together various kinds of dark, heavy, surprising sounds from different corners of your record collections.
In keeping with its reputation as “the anti-festival,” this year Basilica SoundScape will continue to push the boundaries of how attendees traditionally experience festival-going. Stitching together a sonic tapestry that moves between dark hip hop, black metal, bedroom ambient, minimalist experimental folk, reconfigured ‘90s dance music, glitchy R&B, chamber pop, horrorcore and punk, and more, Friday and Saturday evening offer site-specific inspired work as other local musicians and poets flesh out the rest of the programming. Basilica SoundScape aims to foster an environment that encourages these artists to tap into true creative freedom without limits and to immerse themselves in a weekend in Upstate NY – and invites the audience to discover new sounds in an off-the-beaten path location.
