More about: Liverpool Sound CitySound City Plus

Sound City+ - the conference arm of the Liverpool new music festival - has announced its first list of names and talks. Among the speakers are Joe of IDLES and producers Adrian Bushby (Foo Fighters) and Steph Marziano (Kasabian).

Executives from Facebook, Vevo, the BBC and Sky will also attend to join talks such as "Secrets of the studio", "How to harness the power of music videos" and "How to scale your music marketing across Facebook & Instagram".

The conference will be a fruitful place for musicians and industry people to learn more about how to get into, or further, their career. 

The event will take place in the Cunard Building on Liverpool's waterfront. 

Headed by Joe Talbot, this year's conference is billed to be "for the reckless and the outspoken". 

Sound City+ takes place alongside three days of new music at Sound City which this year includes performances from Friendly Fires, Marika Hackman, Tim Burgess, Spector and The Mysterines. 

Sound City+ will take place 1-3 May 2020 in Liverpool. Conference tickets here.
