ON AIR FEST

On Air Fest is the gathering place for the creative vanguard in sound. Three days of live stories, music, art performance and listening parties. We bring together an expansive range of emerging and established voices to explore the creative possibilities of the medium. On Air Fest has featured thought leaders and artists including Roxane Gay, Laurie Anderson, Meshell Ndegeocello, Jenna Wortham and Radiolab's Jad Abumrad.

Previous program partners range from The New York Times and WNYC to The Moth, Marvel, HotPod, Stitcher, DJ Stretch Armstrong and musician Miho Hatori of Cibo Matto. The festival includes 100+ presenters, 11M social impressions, 150K listens, and thousands of attendees onsite.

The core of On Air Fest is exploring storytelling and creativity in sound.

We program folks in unexpected ways that lets their really voices come through. On Air takes inspiration from creative conferences, performance art and music festivals—hyphenating worlds and providing a magical space to advance the culture of audio. It exists as a rallying point for leading voices, new movements and curious listeners inspired by the art of sound.
