Basilica SoundScape — Basilica Hudson’ is back with a weekend of art and music, taking place in a reclaimed post-industrial setting right at the Hudson River’s waterfront, artists taking part, include Deafheaven, Fcukers, billy woods, Ho9909, Maria Somerville, Vines and many more. Curated by Melissa Auf der Maur, Brandon Stosuy, and Tony Stone, along with guest curation from David Castillo of St. Vitus and writer Jenn Pelly, 2025 marks Basilica Hudson’s 15 year anniversary, and marks the 10th iteration of Basilica SoundScape.

“When Basilica SoundScape was launched in 2011, the idea was to present a carefully curated, cross-genre music and arts festival. We saw it as an antidote to the larger, faceless corporate festivals of that (and this) time, all featuring basically the same lineups. It was meant to be more mixtape, less hierarchical Coachella flyer. We also weren’t interested in endless expansion: We wanted to house the event in an 18,000-square foot converted factory on the Hudson River, a space that felt essential to the SoundScape experience.

In 2025, the vision remains the same.”

— Brandon Stosuy, Co-Founder

Founded in 2010 by musician Melissa Auf der Maur and filmmaker Tony Stone, Basilica Hudson is housed in a reclaimed, solar-powered 1880s industrial factory on the riverfront of Hudson, NY. The organization welcomes over 20,000 visitors each season to genre-pushing music festivals, large scale marketplace events, regular film screenings, an artist in residency program, public installations and other community gatherings. The majority of its programs are free or sliding scale.

Through its programs, Basilica Hudson supports the creation, production and presentation of independent arts and culture, and strives to forge experiences that aspire to the scale, grit and beauty of its surroundings. It draws inspiration for its mission and programming from the City of Hudson’s epic history, as well as the region’s artistic legacy and environmental advocacy.

Launched in September 2016, The Creative Independent is a growing resource of emotional and practical guidance for creative people. Led by Co-founder and Editor in Chief Brandon Stosuy, TCI’s goal is to educate, inspire, and grow the community of people who create or dream of creating through discussions with working artists leading creative, independent lives. TCI publishes interviews, how-to guides, surveys and worksheets, advice and wisdom and other creative tools; organizes live events and workshops and curates publications that align with our mission. The Creative Independent is ad-free and published by Kickstarter, PBC.
