PULSE is a new strand of Sonic Boom Music CIC events designed around connection, inclusion, and early engagement with live music.

These are low-impact, human-scale gatherings that prioritise accessibility, listening, and participation over volume and spectacle. Pulse events create space for people to discover new artists, reconnect with music in a calm environment, and feel genuinely welcome; whether you’re a seasoned gig-goer or attending your first live show.

Expect a relaxed, friendly atmosphere with short or flexible sets, minimal production, and a clear focus on wellbeing and community. Performances are acoustic or lightly amplified, with volume kept comfortable and sensory impact kept low. Accessible spaces are prioritised, and the emphasis is on shared experience rather than performance pressure.

Pulse events act as an entry point for new audiences and artists alike, taking Sonic Boom beyond the festival itself and into community venues and non-traditional spaces, often during the daytime or early evening.
