Finally we can welcome festival season back with open arms. We’re can’t express our hippie love enough as the festival months unfold. So we headed off to Liverpool for the awesome Sound City music festival. Over 7,000 bands applied to play at the festival proving how far and wide the Sound City message has spread. There were over 350 bands from 20 different countries playing on 25 stages. Liverpool Sound City has grown massively in it’s young six year existence. The music city breathes enthusiasm, the people are delightful and the venues unusual !
This year Sound City put on parties in; underground garages, arts clubs and iconic buildings such as the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral. Sound City doesn’t just stop there, CEO David Pichilingi states how expansion is on the horizon, ” Sound City aims to take it’s message, and values to locations not only in the UK but across Europe and internationally. We recently staged our 2nd edition of New York Sound City in Brooklyn. Pichilingi has specific criteria when working with new partners, “we want to be affiliated with cities that share our vision of independent and entrepreneurial spirit, the kind of city that wants to show to the world just how amazing they truly are.”
Some of our best moments came from scrapping our app itinerary and following the sound across the city. We stumbled across many new faces with this strategy. The sun shone during our breaks at Kazimier Gardens, where we rested our ears with a chilled acoustic session. Enjoy our photo gallery from the epicentre of musical talent.
