The forward thinking three day festival Liverpool Sound City returns in May, with another compelling line up.

With a strong eye on the future and a mission to bring the best new music, film, art and more from all over the world to Liverpool, LSC is acclaimed for its bold and innovative programming and conference. And with the inaugural New York Sound City show taking place in March and further international shows to be announced, this is an incredibly exciting time for Sound City.

The festival has today announced its first wave of musical acts, with UK rapper Professor Green, Texas four-piece White Denim and psychedelic electronic innovators Death In Vegas leading the charge. 

Cloud Nothings, Yukon Blonde, Charli XCX, and Fixers are also confirmed, showcasing the new talent that Sound City is renowned for promoting.

Liverpool Sound City will also host the UK Music Student Awards at the Echo Arena on 17th May. Launched by George Martin, the awards are in collaboration with Access To Music and are hosted by BBC Radio 1’s Edith Bowman. For eight years this unique event has celebrated, identified and supported new talent within music education including Ed Sheeran and affirms Access To Music’s position as the link between the industry and music education. The awards and Access To Music programme give the stars of tomorrow an amazing opportunity to shine today with recognition directly from the music industry.

Dave Pichilingi, CEO Sound City comments "We're thrilled to announce the first wave of bands that'll make up the line-up for Liverpool Sound City 2012 - an eclectic mix of genres that makes our festival such an interesting, innovative, must-see event.

"We're taking Sound City to whole new level this year by bringing in Access To Music and co-hosting the UK Music Student Awards, which shows our commitment to the new breed of musicians and those who work in the music industry, as well as being a great excuse for a party."
