Sounds of the City 2026

Thursday, July 9, 2026 - Castlefield Bowl, Manchester

• Johnny Marr
• EVERYTHING EVERYTHING

Sounds of the City 2026 brings Johnny Marr to Castlefield Bowl on 9 July 2026, leading a bill that leans hard into Manchester-rooted alternative rock and wider UK experimentation. Marr’s solo material and catalogue-spanning guitar work anchor the show, drawing on his alternative rock and rock releases. Special guests Everything Everything open with their intricate mix of alternative dance, art pop, art rock and dance-pop, a sharp contrast to Marr’s taut, melodic drive. Together they shape a one-off Sounds of the City performance that links Manchester guitar heritage with forward-looking, electronic-inflected pop.
