Expect an incendiary show from Young Knives who make their LSC debut; the Mercury-nominated trio’s unique take on British pop continues a rich vein of inspired British psychedelia.

Spank Rock will be collaborating Amanda Blank brings an urban edge to Liverpool; from her baile-funk roots to a more recent punkier sound. Mancunian indie-poppers Dutch Uncles bring their distinctly northern verve to Liverpool whilst Trophy Wife debut with their melancholy disco beats. The Phoenix Foundation’s Kiwi, dreamy psychedelic pop will further wow the Sound City masses and further demonstrating LSC’s global reach, Canadian indie outfit The Rural Alberta Advantage also touchdown to join the party. Full line up Here
