Breakfast Club starts with a bang as Fierce Festival’s Laura McDermott puts the chaos theory to the test. Many famous artists have experimented with abandoning control as a means of directing the creative process. Laura invites musicians, educators and business figures to help us consider how less control can sometimes result in more rewarding outcomes.

Start your weekends with big ideas, breakfast by Yoghurt Culture and coffee from Small Batch by donation.

Kickstart your brain with a dose of stimulation courtesy of Next Wave. Breakfast Club is your morning shot of artistic and intellectual insight. We’re not interested in expert-led formats or a room full of people thinking the same things; we want big opinions, good discussion and personal stories.
