With NOISS, the festival ventures beyond the field of music performance. From 28 to 30 September, NEXT will offer a course in music journalism focusing on contemporary music, the independent scene, subcultures and subgenres. The three-day intensive module running throughout NEXT 2022 will be led by Czech music critic Pavel Klusák.
