Apply To Play

Sound City is the UK's leading festival and conference for new music. Established in 2007, Sound City has grown over the past 15 years into one of the most culturally important annual events on the music calendar. The festival has earned an outstanding reputation for giving emerging artists their first taste of a festival stage, with alumni including Ed Sheeran, Grimes, Stormzy, Lizzo, Yungblud and countless more.
