Silicon Valley Sound eXperience Music Festival Every year in September

Debuting in 2012, the Silicon Valley Sound eXperience is a music festival that takes place at several San Jose venues in September, and was designed as a way for a wide-range of local performers to showcase their chops without having to make the drive north to San Francisco.

The first Silicon Valley Sound eXperience was hosted at nine venues in downtown San Jose, and featured more than 20 local performers, including an afternoon set by DJ Cutso and an after party helmed by B. Lewis.

Silicon Valley Sound eXperience features everything from electronic music to punk and indie rock playing at venues like San Pedro Square Market, Old Wagon Saloon, the Hedley Club, Johnny V’s, the Blank Club, Mezcal, Mmoon, Myth, and Pagoda.

Silicon Valley Sound eXperience tickets are around $15, which provide a wristband valid for access to all of the Silicon Valley Sound eXperience shows. Because performances take place at multiple venues, it’s best to check the calendar prior to the event so you can stay abreast of who is playing and where.

Organizers plan to make the Silicon Valley Sound eXperience a multi-day event in the future.
