The first announcement for next year’s Liverpool Sound City event is being led by headliners Pale Waves.

The Blinders, Tim Burgess, Stealing Sheep and The Lottery Winners are some of the acts to be a part of this first wave, with Sound City due back at the Baltic Triangle between May 1st-3rd, 2020. “It doesn’t feel that long ago since we were partying to Loyle Carner, Mabel, The Magic Gang, slowthai and Louis Berry earlier in the year – and now here we are releasing our first wave of names for Sound City 2020,” Rebecca Ayres, Sound City’s Managing Director, reflects.




“For our 13th year, we will continue to champion the very best sounds the UK has to offer across an incredibly diverse spectrum, as well as reaching out around the world to brilliant artists making a difference.”

“Liverpool is the perfect backdrop for our festival and conference, and working again with the Arts Council England and a range of partners, we are determined to create a weekend and wider series of events and showcases which will once more shape the agenda for music, arts and culture across the UK and beyond. We cannot wait to be back.”
