MAY 2ND & 3RD
THE MOST EXCITING FESTIVAL FOR NEW MUSIC ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
Since exploding on the UK festival scene in 2008, Sound City has established itself as one of Europe’s leading independent music festival and conference. Uniquely placed in Liverpool, we energetically uphold the city’s global reputation as the world centre of pop music.
Fiercely independent and with an unmistakably northern attitude, we consistently programme the most exciting and innovative acts irrespective of genre, country of origin or protected characteristic: if it’s going to set the world on fire in years to come, you’ll find it at Sound City first.
HALL OF
FAME
Over 18 editions of Sound City, we've showcased more than 3,000 emerging artists to over 400,000 fans and key industry figures, winning a stack load of awards along the way and helping to catapult hundreds of acts on the road to media coverage, record deals, hit albums and sell-out tours. Take a look at some of the biggest names we’ve welcomed to Liverpool, many in the early stages of their careers.
