TEST DEPT – Soundhouse Whitstable
Date: Friday 28 November 2025
Venue: Soundhouse Whitstable, St Mary's Parish Hall, Whitstable Umbrella Centre, Whitstable, UK
Prepare for an electrifying night of industrial sound, experimental rhythm, and immersive visuals as Coastal Electronauts present Test Dept., one of the UK’s most groundbreaking sonic pioneers.
Emerging from the industrial heart of the 1980s, Test Dept. forged a reputation for their politically charged performances and percussive power. Decades on, their live shows remain visceral and forward-thinking—combining mechanical soundscapes, electronic textures, and uncompromising energy.
The night will also feature performances from Shape Navigator and Sophie Sirota, exploring new frontiers in electronic performance art. Visuals throughout the evening will be provided by @DIZ_QO, transforming the venue into an immersive audio-visual environment.
This event is supported by Arts Council England, F1 Sound Co Ltd and Whitstable Umbrella Centre, as part of an ongoing celebration of experimental and electronic culture along the coast.
Expect rhythm. Expect resonance. Expect revolution.
Join us for an unforgettable night where art, industry, and sound collide.
