During the 2024 edition of the festival, GAS presented artists from The United Kingdom, Japan, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, The United States, China, Denmark, Iceland, Greece and Sweden at twelve different venues in and around Gothenburg.

The festival took place from October 11-25, with the main days concentrated around October 16 – 19. During this edition of the festival, we presented artists from The United Kingdom, Japan, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, The United States, China, Denmark, Iceland, Greece and Sweden at twelve different venues in and around Gothenburg.

The festival theme was focused around “Reflections”. There was a transition where the festival’s Artistic Director Staffan Mossenmark left the festival and new Artistic Directors Clara de Asís and Stefan Klaverdal entered to curate further editions of Göteborg Art Sounds. 

“GAS is a festival that embraces a wide spectrum of sound practices, from improvisation to composition, spanning electronic and acoustic music. Attending the festival invites us to tune in and listen, taking in everything from raw, intense sounds to the most delicate, within unique and unconventional settings. It’s also an opportunity to foster community, encourage plurality and connect with amazing people.”
