The only previously announced at was The Coral who top the bill on Sunday 29th May.

We’re committed to delivering an eclectic bill that features the very best the live music scene has to offer, from legendary psyche survivors The Dandy Warhols to new home-grown talent like Circa Waves.

"We also remain passionate about supporting emerging talent and will continue to programme the best and brightest new music from across the globe. We have so much more to reveal in the coming months. We’re confident it’s going to be the best Sound City to date."
