HAPPY SFTOC WEEK EVERYONE!. We're busy doing our 10 day countdown elsewhere (join us on IG/FB to join in if you can) – but we'll make sure any key info is still posted here & we keep checking in with you. Starting with our FULL STAGE TIMES & SCHEDULE:

While we were creating our SFTOC archive, we noticed someone was particularly busy uploading ticket stubs & posters. It seemed as though that person could’ve been to every single Sounds. That person was @UrmstonDeb. We reached out for comment.

As the days grow longer, the wait grows shorter, and the tickets grow scarcer. Second Release tickets are VERY NEARLY GONE! Grab yours before Wednesday + you'll save a sweet fiver to keep in the kitty for your first drink on Sounds day.

@MDMArchive So record one on your break, or rally your pals down the pub & leave us a joint memory – we'd love to get as many people as possible taking part!. Follow the 🖇️ to listen to leave your (lovely) stain on Sounds history. DM us if you have any questions ✉️.

@MDMArchive Record a delicious soundbite, pin it to the place where it happened for all to hear, and help us create a living, shifting collective memory of our favourite time and place on earth. For Sounds may only appear on the streets once a year, but here we live forever, baby!.

A few months ago, we worked with @MDMArchive to create an archive of our own: documenting our history through your photos & videos. Now, we’ve taken it one step further. The SFTOC Audio Map: A place for our lovely community to preserve & share their spoken memories of Sounds.

👯‍♂️ TEAM UP FOR TEAM TICKETS 👯‍♂️. The ever-popular, ever-limited Team Tickets for SFTOC25 are here (until they’re not). Buy 4, pay for 3. Let a friend ride free, or split the cost + you all save 25%. Only 50 available, so rally the buddies + bag a bargain!

On 18th July, the South Warehouse of Aviva Studios will become an in-the-round stage; a non-stop carousel of sounds, unexpected performances, an array of artists that exemplify the kaleidoscope of styles, energies & characters that have graced SFTOC stages over the past 2 decades.

Manchester International Festival is back for 2025, and SFTOC is going to be there: bringing you SURROUND SOUNDS.
