Liverpool Sound City 2017 marks the 10th anniversary of the city’s metropolitan music festival!

This year featured two incredible stand-alone shows (which we’ve already talked about), along with the usual 2 day festival during Spring Bank Holiday weekend.

After a great 2016 edition, Liverpool Sound City 2017 look to top it with a fabulous 10th birthday celebration at their new Clarence Dock home.
