Johnny Marr and Sounds of the City

Johnny Marr is a solo artist with five albums and bestselling autobiography Set The Boy Free. He recorded the No Time To Die James Bond theme with Billie Eilish, won the Ivor Novello Inspiration Award, and earned an Academy Award nomination for Inception.

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.
