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: UK electronic/dance duo behind “Where’s Your Head At” & “Romeo”; million-selling Remedy, 2 BRITs + GRAMMY; Glasto/HL Bowl; Metropole Orkest collab.

London-born, Florida-raised DJ/producer Storm Mollison blends Chicago house, disco, UK garage and 140 breaks. After a 2024 debut and an EP on DJ Haus’ Hot Haus, she toplined “Touch Down (Feel The Rush)” with Mella Dee and “GRFTP” with KI/KI.
