Volt – the festival for electronic music
Uppsala Konsert & Kongress
Saturday, June 11th 2011, 19.00-03.00
Volt is one of Sweden’s leading festivals for electronic music. On June 11th, Volt is celebrating its third anniversary with a stronger program than ever.
For the third year running, Uppsala Koncert & Kongress is vibrating with anticipation as Volt gets ready to occupy the building on June 11th. The festival is a collaboration between Uppsala Koncert & Kongress and the radio program Ström on Swedish radio’s P2. As in previous years, a long list of Swedish and international electronic music acts will be presented. The festival’s 2011 program is the strongest yet with acts such as sound scientist Alva Noto (DE), the live genius of Little Dragon (SE) and dubstep prophet Mary Anne Hobbes (UK). Star DJ’s like Ben Klock (DE), Radio Slave (UK) and Ulf Eriksson (SE) will keep the dance floors shaking. Many more artists are confirmed and together they will treat us to an electronically crackling one-day festival.
Volt 2011 presents, as in previous years, electronic music in its many forms- from focused, minimalist house and techno to rock hard dubstep, humming ambient and genre-defying experiments.
Volt is much more than a music festival celebrating electronic music. Visitors to Volt will also be presented with video art and interactive installations occupying the borderland between man and machine, digital and analog.
Welcome to Uppsala and the fantastic environment that is Uppsala Koncert & Kongress. Hypermodern architecture with clean lines, top of the line technology and first-rate acoustics are what make UKK one of the best places in the world to hold an electronic music festival.
Volt – for an eclectic electronic journey that is guaranteed to move you.

Uppsala Konsert & Kongress
A venue created for meetings and music
Uppsala Konsert & Kongress is a multifunctional cultural venue with world class design and acoustics.

Meanwhile, experimental musicians challenge listeners in the smaller venues and bigger dance-friendly acts make sure that sweat is dripping on the larger dance floors. Music will pump out of every corner as the evening fades into summer night.
