HowTheLightGetsIn 2012 - The Philosophy & Music Festival

@ The Globe at Hay The Globe

HowTheLightGetsIn, the world's largest philosophy and music festival, is coming. Join us for ten days of innovative thinking on the edge of the beautiful Black Mountains. There'll be all that you've come to expect from us: a programme of rigorous and inspirational debate, live performances from world-class musicians and comedians, and DJs late into the night.

With more than one-hundred and fifty of the world's leading philosophers, musicians, writers and scientists joining us to investigate this year's theme of 'Uncharted Territories', we'll be getting to the heart of the best and brightest new ideas in contemporary culture. But it won't all be cerebral. Across five venues we'll have more than a hundred live performances, from acoustic songstresses to breathtaking beatboxers.
