The full line-up for this autumn's two-day Sound City festival in Ipswich has been announced.

People attending will have the chance to listen to 60 bands and solo performers during the event, which runs from October 1-2 and includes a wealth of national and local talent.

Sound City will present a hand-picked multicultural mix of upcoming and established bands and includes an industry conference on the Friday.

Its venues around the town are set to include the iconic Baths Hall, which is set to stage gigs once again.

Sound City Ipswich programmer and director Marcus Neal said: ‘I’m really pleased with the line-up we’ve been able to put together for this year. It surely must be one of the most diverse bills of any festival around.

"There’s a great diversity that is bound to have something to please pretty much anyone with a genuine interest in new music.

"We also have a strong gender ratio, over half the acts have female representation.

"Our aim is to firmly re-establish Ipswich as a centre for live music.

"We want to change people’s perceptions of the town and continue to build audiences and all these brilliant artists and the five outstanding venues are will really help us in this goal."

The Ipswich Star is pleased to be a media partner for the Sound City event.
