Consequence of Sound (CoS) is a Chicago-based music website featuring news, album and concert reviews, and editorials. In addition, the website also features the Festival Outlook micro-site, which serves as an on-line database for music festival news and rumors.

The site was founded in September 2007 by Alex Young—who now has the role of the site's CEO and publisher—and it has a combined staff of over 50 writers, editors, graphic designers, and photographers. Michael Roffman is the President and Editor in Chief, Adam Kivel is the Managing Editor, and Chris Coplan is the News Editor.[2]

Consequence of Sound is listed as one of the most influential music websites by Technorati.[3] In 2010, About.com ranked Consequence of Sound the year's best music blog, based on "Technorati rankings and the online buzz throughout the year".[4]

A popular feature of Consequence of Sound is the Festival Outlook, posting rumors regarding bands playing music festivals. However, it has caused some controversy. In 2009, CoS reported that Paul McCartney and The Killers would headline the 2009 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival prior to its lineup announcement.[5] In 2010, CoS reported that Muse, Jay-Z, and Gorillaz would headline the 2010 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival prior to its lineup announcement.[6]

In February 2012, the website launched a long form writing section, Aux.Out. In March 2012, the website launched its first-ever mobile app at South by Southwest.

The website takes its name from the Regina Spektor song, "Consequence of Sounds".
