Liverpool Sound City industry conference has been rebranded as Sound City+ and will take place on Friday 27th May, the day before the main festival. This new-look event promises a content-heavy programme jam-packed with workshops, 1-2-1 meetings with UK and international record labels, agents, music supervisors and festivals from all over the world, sign-posting sessions and inspirational TED-type talks through the day.
Continuing its ethos of championing exciting new talent Sound City+ will host an independent label market, featuring the legendary Sire Records, Domino, Heavenly, Bella Union and China’s biggest independent Modern Sky Entertainment.
CEO of 6 Degrees Entertainment Nathalie Du Bois will curate a host of Sync Sessions including panels, workshops and meetings. Legendary Drowned in Sound will present a series of panel talks as well as take part in debating podcasts, playlists, promoting gigs and much more. Other exciting content includes DJ workshops hosted by Manchester Midi School.
Sound City’s famous In Conversation stage interview series is also changing. Sound City CEO Dave Pichilingi explained: “The sheer groundswell of music fans who go to the festival and who said that they would love to see them persuaded us to move it over to the festival site so that everyone attending has the chance to see and be inspired by them.”
Clean Cut Kid, Samm Henshaw and Mahlia have already been confirmed for the exclusive Sound City launch party at a top-secret location in Liverpool’s historic docklands, with more acts to be announced.
Delegate tickets are available through Sound City + official ticket partner Skiddle.
