Liverpool Sound City returns to the city centre in May 2025 for another weekend of rock, indie and more across various venues.

A city filled with musical history, Liverpool is the birthplace to a long list of famous bands such as The La’s, Cast, The Zutons, and who could forget, The Beatles, making it the perfect place to discover the best artists of the future.

And a heavy emphasis on underground and unsigned talent is exactly what Liverpool Sound City is all about, boasting a proud history of having booked alt-J, Florence and the Machine and The xx before the hype really took ahold.

But Sound City isn’t just about the live music, as the festival also runs a conference programme alongside, inviting an esteemed list of labels, promoters, artists and managers to impart their knowledge and discuss trending issues in the music scene.
