Thousands descend on Liverpool city centre for Sound City 2022

Liverpool Sound City returned this weekend for a huge 15th anniversary festival.

The sun may not have been cracking the flags, but the rain held off and didn’t stop people from enjoying the live music at venues across the city centre, including Jimmy’s, the Arts Club Theatre, Zanzibar, The Jacaranda and more.

Tonight, The Lathums take to the stage for a huge headline set at the Arts Club Theatre on Seel Street. Seb Lowe will also perform and there’s sets by Crawlers, The Clause, The Reytons and more.
