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.

Tom Grennan, a UK singer-songwriter, blends soulful pop with hits like “Little Bit Of Love” and “By Your Side.” He has four UK Top 10 singles and notable collabs with KSI and Joel Corry.
