Sound City will be celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2017, the multi-award winning Sound City has today revealed even more incredible live acts.
Very special guests, The Cribs are joining the bill with a one-off performance of their hit third album Men’s Needs, Woman’s Needs, Whatever. Celebrating 15 years, six studio albums and an extended collaborative period with guitar hero Johnny Marr!
The Amazons burst onto the new music scene last year with a deal from legendary indie label Fiction and a reputation for explosive live shows. With a sell-out tour under their belts and new material in the works this is a great chance to see a proper alt-rock band up close.
Indie-rockers Vant are well known for their garage/punk leanings, political opinions and blistering live performances. With debut album Dumb Blood hot off the press just last week and winning critical acclaim from all quarters there isn’t a better time to be catching them live as they ascend to rock royalty.
Declan McKenna won the prestigious Emerging Talent Competition at 2015’s Glastonbury Festival, since then his career has soared with a string of hit singles and his first LP due to drop this May.
After successful shows in Korea with Sound City, Glasgow’s Colonel Mustard and the Dijon Five are back to entertain the crowds and they are joined by a plethora of top-notch acts from Merseyside and Greater Manchester including Queen Zee & The Sasstones. Appearing on the Edge Hill label showcase are Shrinking Minds, Oranj Son and Ali Horn, whilst the BIMM showcase welcomes:
