Sounds From The Other City
Celebrated Salford day-festival, created for music lovers by music lovers.
“A celebration of independence –︎︎︎︎︎”
– The Independent
“A joyful celebration of Greater Manchester’s leftfield culture”
– The Guardian“Part music festival, part bar crawl and part community celebration’
– The Big IssueFor two decades, Sounds from the Other City has played a pivotal role in shaping the identity and sense of place of its home in Salford, strengthening the city’s reputation as a place where community, creativity and innovation can happily co-exist, a place where the ‘other’ can still thrive.
The festival takes place in the pubs, churches, studios, exam halls, cafes, museums, libraries and 'in-between' spaces of Salford’s historic centre, Chapel Street and The Crescent. It is developed in partnership with Salford City Council, University of Salford, English Cities Fund, Salford Museum & Art Gallery together with a host of community businesses and creative organistions and independent programmers.
We’ve been lucky enough to have had those venues graced by nearly 2000 early career performers as diverse as BiPolar Sunshine, Marina, Alt-J, Kelly Lee Owens, The Ting Tings, Hannah Peel,Sampha,IAMDDB and Black Country, New Road.
