Speaking of the announcement, Sound City CEO Dave Pichilingi said: "“We’ve pulled out all the stops for our tenth birthday. We wanted to do something really special, not just to mark to occasion but also to reward all those loyal Sound Citizens who have come with us on this amazing ten-year journey and I think you’ll agree the line-up is incredible."
He continued to promise festival-goers "one hell of a party!" to celebrate the event reaching its decade milestone.
Headliners Metronomy - helmed by Joseph Mount - released their back-to-basics Summer 08 album last year, which features the recently released Robyn collaboration 'Hang Me Out To Dry'. The band are also set to make a headline appearance at Blissfields Festival in July
Last year's Sound City saw performances from Catfish + The Bottlemen, The Coral, Palma Violets, Sleaford Mods, Band of Skulls and more.
Liverpool Sound City 2017 takes place from 25 - 28 May at Clarence Dock.
