Castlefield Bowl Sounds of the City 2024 - set times, support acts, how to get there and everything you need to know

Sounds of the City returns to Castlefield Bowl this year with a stellar line-up featuring dance acts, 2000s pop-rock and classic indie hits.

Over the years, the summer concert series has featured performances from some of the biggest names in music, including Lewis Capaldi, Sam Fender, Kylie Minogue and Elbow. 2023’s line-up included The Lathums, Pulp, Hozier and Blossoms.

This year, Sounds of the City will see headline performances from the likes of Avril Lavigne, Manic Street Preachers, Fatboy Slim, Jungle and Tom Grennan across eight shows this month.

The shows will kick off on July 3 with Avril Lavigne, and will conclude on July 13 with a performance from Hacienda Classical featuring iconic dance anthems reimagined by a full orchestra.

Whilst the majority of the shows have now sold out, there are some limited tickets available via Ticketmaster. If you’re one of the lucky few that already has tickets to these special set of shows, then we’ve got the details you need to know - including getting there, support acts and which artist is performing when.

We are currently still waiting for set times from the promoters. Last year’s Sounds of the City shows saw doors open at 5.30pm, with most headliners taking to the stage between 8pm and 9pm. We will update details when we get confirmation for each show.

Some resale tickets will be available for a number of the shows. As always, it is important to note that many event promoters say tickets, sold on sites like Viagogo and Vivid Seats as two examples, should not be resold after initial purchase and will not be valid for admittance to gigs.
