The largest Metropolitan Music and Arts festival in the UK is back from the 1st to the 3rd of May in the heart of Liverpool city. That’s right, Liverpool Sound City 2014 is nearly upon us and if you’re anything like me, it can’t come quick enough! This year, the festival will be welcoming over 360 artists, in over 25 venues, with over 40,000 music fans and over 3000 industry professionals congregating for the festival. Each year, Liverpool Sound City proudly bring you some of the most exciting breakthrough artists, giving the city an opportunity to see tomorrow’ss major acts exclusively, before anyone else.
The festival has previously been host to acts such as Florence And The Machine, The Maccabees and Ed Sheeran.
