Advancing
the Culture
of Audio
We bring together an expansive range of emerging and established voices to explore the creative possibilities of sound.

On Air Fest has evolved into the premier cultural event for audio creatives and inspired listeners. For six years, our flagship festival in Brooklyn has taken place every winter at Wythe Hotel and featured over 100 artists who bring forward innovative ideas and present new work.
Throughout the year, On Air Fest produces a range of cultural programming, from annex events, to our residency program, creative collaborations to a newsletter and podcasts. On Air Fest carves a place for artists and storytellers who are defining this moment in audio.

About US

ON AIR FEST IS THE PREMIERE GLOBAL EVENT FOR AUDIO STORYTELLING AND CREATIVITY

Centering media innovation, art and podcasts, we present intimate talks, performances & exhibitions that uplift the storytellers and brands who are shaping culture today. Since 2018, our flagship festivals in Brooklyn and Los Angeles (link to content gallery) have brought together thousands of artists, storytellers and industry leaders to bring forward innovative ideas and launch new projects. We’ve been called the “Coachella of Podcasts” by Fast Company and “the Future of Podcasting” by Wired.

This coming Feb will mark the next era for On Air Fest. Centering our audience and creative community that has been so loyal and engaged with us these last 8 years, we’re expanding our programming into new categories and our footprint across Brooklyn/NYC. Plus, we’re inviting you to submit ideas for sessions, performances and new kinds of programming. We’re growing our residency program and will have more opportunities for independant creators to participate and showcase their work.
Today more than ever, we need to challenge conventional thinking and push forward what is possible. Stay tuned for more information via our newsletter.
