FloorFiller Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 these two acts alone are miles better than all of this year's lineup. definitely gonna be going to this. hope the third headliner is just as strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Anyone know a little more about this? I'm never too fond of city fests spread across venues (for the fear of missing an act you want to see by not queuing or camping in the venue all day) but I understand they've relocated this one so I dunno if that's still the case. Looking into this as a safety net for not sorting mates out for Primavera when that lineup drops, and a bit more seriously now the new B&S record has knocked it out of the park again.

FloorFiller Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) i'm not sure on the specifics but i'm pretty sure it's all gonna be a lot closer and not your average 'sprawled throughout the city' ordeal it's been in the past. B&S's new album is fantastic. really excited for this now on another note, just read an article that said that Dum Dum Girls will be supporting B&S on their UK tour (including this) so that'd be great for me! edit: also not sure if this is the norm for them but B&S will apparently be backed by a full orchestra which sounds amazing Edited January 9, 2015 by FloorFiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they are in Glasgow anyway and it would make sense with the other venues mainly being concert halls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they are in Glasgow anyway and it would make sense with the other venues mainly being concert halls. Well they're playing at the Albert Hall in Manchester, there's no way a full orchestra would fit on that stage.

Oh right, I just looked at the names of the venues and since most had hall in them I assumed they were concert halls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 i read about the full orchestra on the Sound City page so not sure if it applies to the other dates, although i assumed it did - would be a bit odd to just bring an orchestra along for Liverpool alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Are The Vaccines headlining this? It says they're playing on their tourdates on eFests/eGigs. That's pretty strong if true. Plus with the other two I think it's really quite a good trio. Next announcement's meant to be coming at 8am on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Oh. Cheers. They're teasing a big announcement on Monday and the Fri headliner is still 'TBA' so I think they've messed up somewhere along the line. Some damn good acts there. I need to get thinking about this but I'll probably wait and see what goes down with the 6music fest and Primavera.

the wonderwhy Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yeah somebody has obviously posted the news article too early (it's dated the 26th) http://staging.liverpoolsoundcity.co.uk/116/section/110/sound_city_adds_the_vaccines_and_more_artists_to_the_lineup Damn good lineup for 65 quid.

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Good line up, especially for the price. Think I might give it ago. Do the acts tend to clash? If Fucked Up & the Flaming Lips clashed I wouldn't know what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakscene Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I'm really excited for the next wave of bands. What other acts were showing on that link? I must say, I'm not a fan of The Vaccines at all and I was crossing my fingers that Friday's headliner would be Interpol, but I don't think I've ever been to a festival and been satisfied with all 3 headliners. Plus, paying £55 for my ticket, I have more than had my money's worth with Belle and Sebastian and The Flaming Lips, so I can't complain. In terms of clashes, I have no idea how the festival will be structured now with its new location, but previously, yes, bands did clash. A lot of people are complaining about the relocation but I much prefer it. The first year I went, it was really exciting having to travel around between different venues to see bands and also the city was always buzzing over the weekend, but it wore thin quite quickly and became a bit of a chore. This way, if you do have to nip between stages to see bands, it's only gonna be a few steps away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing how that ends up will be a big factor for me. As for the other acts I can't remember much but I am pretty sure they had Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Fucked Up, Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger and Thurston Moore all on Saturday. Gaz Coombes on Sunday and Roni Size / Reprazent on the Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Bad Breeding and All We Are were on there too, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 not a fan of The Vaccines but that's a great booking considering a lot on here were predicting them to soon be stepping up to major festival headliners. rest of the lineup is very good as well - Thurston Moore, Fucked Up, Evian Christ, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Dum Dum Girls, Cymbals Eat Guitars are all acts i'm very excited about, and i've got a whole load of other acts to be checking out. ecstatic about this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakscene Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Made up with Thurston Moore and Fucked Up! I saw a link last night which leaked these bands but I wasn't sure if it was just speculation, but either way, I gave The Ghost of a Sabre Tooth Tiger a listen last night and they are so good! I reckon if the sales go well this year, it'll continue to grow every year and eventually it could be up to the standards of Primavera in the future! I think this is the break that Liverpool has been waiting for. This, paired with last year's amazing Liverpool Music Week line up has brought the gig scene here back to where it used to be, because we've been overshadowed for years by being the 'lesser' city in the north west cos of Manchester. It'll just be nice to be able to go to something great like this in my own city rather than having to travel outside of it! I'm so excited.

5co77ie Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) IIf you like complex guitar noodling and out and rock outs then I highly recommend The Ghost of a Sabre Tooth Tiger they're much more fluid than the album tracks suggest.

thetime Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Is it all outdoors this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakscene Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I honestly don't know. It's in a disused dock on the outskirts of the city centre, I presume it'll be outdoors but I'm hoping for a bit of a warehouse affair, that would be much better..

TheSilence Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 There are two venues very near the docks and loads more within a twenty minute walk from there. Haven't read much about this years but I assumed it would be loads of different venues again. Living in Liverpool, I can't turn this down. That's a very good lineup. Knocks last years out of the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetime Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 When belle and Sebastian was announced the organisers said there would be an outdoor main stage. I thought it would just for B&S day, with flaming lips and vaccines I'm presuming all 3 days now. Or perhaps the outdoor stage will be just for the headliners, rather than a full day programme.
