Liverpool Sound City announces initial line up
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 2 February 2012
Liverpool-based festival and music business convention Liverpool Sound City will return in May, with Professor Green confirmed as a headliner on the festival side, and Death In Vegas, Cloud Nothings, Yukon Blonde, Charli XCX and Fixers also on the bill.
Organisers have also confirmed that an annual student music awards event staged by music education body Access To Music will take place as part of this year’s LSC, while a Sound City Expo will “provide access for both consumers and music/digital professionals to the people, tools and services they will need as we move ever onwards in the digital age”.
Commenting on this year’s initial line-up announcements, Sound City boss Dave Pichilingi told CMU: “We’re thrilled to announce the first wave of bands that’ll make up the line-up for Liverpool Sound City 2012 – an eclectic mix of genres that makes our festival such an interesting, innovative, must-see event. We’re taking Sound City to whole new level this year by bringing in Access To Music and co-hosting the UK Music Student Awards, which shows our commitment to the new breed of musicians and those who work in the music industry, as well as being a great excuse for a party”.
This year’s Sound City runs from 17-19 May. More at www.liverpoolsoundcity.co.uk. As previously reported, the team behind Sound City are also staging an event in New York in March, more information about which is given here.
