Sounds From The Other City Festival announces 2020 return
SOUNDS FROM THE OTHER CITY ANNOUNCES 2020 DETAILS
ALL DAY FESTIVAL RETURNS TO SPIRITUAL HOME OF CHAPEL STREET, SALFORD ON SATURDAY 2ND MAY
TICKETS ON GENERAL SALE THIS FRIDAY (8TH NOV)
Sounds From The Other City Festival has been a firm underground favourite since 2005; championing local promoters and celebrating the off-kilter beauty of Salford, the oft-overlooked ‘other city’ to Manchester.
The 2020 event will take place throughout the festival’s spiritual home of Chapel Street, as the community festival of art, new music, and culture returns to the pubs, churches and community corners of Salford and a select bunch of Manchester promoters are given creative carte blanche to book the best new bands in the country.
With the usual May Bank Holiday moved for VE Day, SFTOC moves forward to 2nd May 2020 and presents a once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience Sounds on a Saturday. There will also be some new ingredients added to everything that has made the festival one of the most idiosyncratic and individual events in the country, making sure the best day of the year stays as fresh as ever as it reaches its sixteenth year.
A genuine DIY success story, the past seven years have each sold out. Last year’s fifteenth birthday was celebrated in unique style with Gabe Gurnsey, The Orielles, Black Country New Road and the Mercury-prize nominated Black Midi descending on the Regent Road Trading Estate for a one-off “‘Quindecennial” event. Watch 2019 highlights here (via Facebook).
News on promoters, venues, performers, artists, and after-parties will be announced in the new year, for what promises to be the biggest and best SFTOC yet.
Tickets go on general sale this Friday (8th November) at midday via Skiddle, with pre-sale available tomorrow (Thursday 7th November) at midday. To join the pre-sale list fans can sign up to Skiddle’s ‘Remind Me’ list for the event by clicking here. As ever, the event is expected to sell out well in advance…. so don’t miss out.
