Sound City has announced over 100 acts as it returns to Liverpool for its eleventh year. The festival is to be held over the May bank holiday…

The very impressive line up includes Aussie, Brit pop-esque band DMA’S  and psych-rockers Peace as the main headliners over the two-day festival.

Other acts include Slow Readers Club, Black Honey, Idles, Wye Oak, Dermot Kennedy, Sam Fender, Jaws and Sunset Sons just to name a few.

The festival will embrace the spirit of the underground by showcasing up and coming bands and performers of the generation.

250 acts are set to play over the weekend with the festival adding grime and urban acts into the mix for the first time in its history.

The Liverpudlian festival is said to be going back to its roots in a vibrant celebration of music and arts from around the world and much closer to home, promising wild shows and raucous label parties.
