Liverpool Sound City has confirmed John Cale and Thurston Moore as keynote speakers. The event, which takes place from May 1-2 at the Liverpool Hilton Hotel and Liverpool ONE will see Cale and Moore joined by a third keynote speaker, former Chief Executive of The Premier League and former CEO of Liverpool Football Club, Rick Parry. Speaking about the bookings, David Pichilingi, CEO of Sound City, commented: "We promised a step change this year and we have delivered. John and Thurston are two of the biggest global names in music – not just for the records they've made but the artists they have inspired and the sub-cultures they've inspired. For decades right up to the present day being into the Velvets or Sonic Youth isn't just a decision to buy a record – it's a lifestyle choice. These guys literally changed the world, what people listen to, what they think, how they dress." 45,000 attendees are expected to attend this year's conference.
