Liverpool’s festival for new music, Sound City, has announced up-and-coming talents Westside Cowboy, Brooke Combe and The Molotovs for its 2026 edition.
The two-day festival will also welcome Jalen Ngonda and Keo as its headline acts, who will be joining the likes of Brooke Combe, Cherryholt, Blossom Calderone and more.
The multi-venue festival will start with a conference on 1 May 2026, with the music taking place from 2–3 May.
The new additions comes after Sound City recently opened its Apply To Play portal for 2026, which acts as a platform for artists to play this year’s weekender.
Becky Ayres, Sound City’s Managing Director, said: “We’re thrilled to share our first wave of acts for Sound City 2026!
With Jalen Ngonda and Keo already set to headline, this year’s line-up promises a mix of rising stars, genre-defying talent, and the next generation of music’s biggest names.
Sound City has always been about discovering tomorrow’s superstars today: giving artists the platform to grow, connect with audiences, and take their first steps toward global success. This first wave gives a glimpse of the unforgettable experiences waiting for audiences in the world capital of music, Liverpool, in 2026.”
Sound City takes place across multiple venues in Liverpool from 2-3 May. Tickets are available here.
