Sound City Liverpool reveal first artists including Peace, Slow Readers Club, Ibibio Sound Machine, Baxter Dury, Idles & Jaws

Liverpool’s Sound City has announced it’s first wave of acts for it’s 2018 instalment.

The first bands revealed feature alt-psych rock from Peace to guitar-electro poppers Slow Readers Club who will rub shoulders with Eno Williams’ Ibibio Sound Machine through to Baxter Dury, Idles and the energetic indie pop from Jaws. Cassia bring their calypso-flavoured afro-rock and the young band continue to make waves, there’s vibrant indie from The Orielles and finally Liverpool-born and enigmatic pop-rocker Zuzu completes the first wave of names.

For the forthcoming event, Sound City will make a much anticipated return to the city centre across the first spring bank holiday Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th May.

Taking place across the Baltic Triangle and Cains Brewery in Liverpool, the festival is very much returning to its roots for its 11th year, focused on discovering an abundance of emerging new talent for everyone to savour whilst experiencing many iconic artists in intimate spaces.
