Basement Jaxx with Sounds of the City, Mike Skinner, and more

Sounds of the City is an annual series of high-profile outdoor concerts held at Castlefield Bowl in Manchester. The series has been running for over 15 years, organized by Manchester-based promoters SJM Concerts. Castlefield Bowl is part of an urban heritage site—the world's first industrial heritage park. To accommodate larger crowds, designers once famously built a 22-meter "floating" stage over a spur of the Bridgewater Canal to maximize space and sightlines.

Basement Jaxx, born in the UK, are renowned for hits like "Where’s Your Head At" and "Romeo". Their eclectic style earned them two BRIT awards, a GRAMMY, and a UK number one album. They've headlined Glastonbury, collaborated with the Metropole Orkest, and scored "Attack The Block". In 2019, they performed at the Sydney Opera House, collaborated globally, and continued DJ residencies, including Ibiza's "Glitterbox".

London-born, Florida-raised Storm Mollison blends Chicago house, disco, UK garage, and breaks. Known for vocals on tracks with Mella Dee and KI/KI, she’s a rising DJ with sets at Glastonbury and Rinse FM residency.
