Nothing Ever Happens Here is the name of Summerhall’s year round music programme, which this August takes in a mix of the truly international, the venerable Sun Kil Moon and Sun Ra Arkestra, to the uniquely home grown, Supermoon from the Edinburgh based songbytoad label, as part of the Pale imitation festival, and We Were Promised Jetpacks and Stanley Odd, two of Edinburgh’s most successful musical imports of the last ten years.

In between these shows we have the legendary The Ex and DJ Prosumer, as part of a collaboration with Edinburgh promoter Braw Gigs, Owen Pallett, one of modern alternative music’s great polymaths, the raucous Orkestra Del Sol, as well as one of the most intimate show you’ll see this festival, in the form of Bill Wells and Aidan Moffat’s reading of their second album “The Most Important Place in the World”. Summerhall will truly be the place for live music this summer.
