Liverpool Sound City 2015: Stage times, band previews and day one review

Sound City showing off

After a fun filled day at the Sound City conference it’s time to turn it up as Bramley Moore Dock prepares to open its gates for day one of musical mischief.

Liverpool Sound City 2015 took over the Titanic Hotel for its annual conference on day one, highlights of which you can see in our round up, but today is where the real fun starts as the locks are cut on Bramley Moore Dock and the first full day of music begins.

So what do they have in store for us toady?

In case you missed it GIT Award 2015 nominees Circa Waves have been added to today’s line up, you can catch them over on the North Stage at around 7.10pm. Neon Waltz will open the Atlantic stage where Everything Everything (also appearing at today’s conference) top the support bill for Friday’s headliners, The Vaccines.

Full times and stages can be found here.

Plus we cannot forget that the conference is still in full swing and that tonight’s keynote speaker is none other than Mr Flaming Lips, Wayne Coyne.
