We’re proud that Sounds From The Other City is celebrated as one of the UK’s leading independent festivals, offering a platform for diverse voices and transformative live experiences for the past 20 years. 

In 2023 some of the key people behind SFTOC came together to form a year round organisation, From The Other, which platforms underrepresented artists through festivals, residencies and creative projects.

This means we can work with even more exciting and boundary-pushing artists in the UK, whilst championing the collaborative and community-centred ethos born from our roots in alternative and DIY music culture. 

From The Other is an independent social enterprise, based in Salford, UK. In addition to SFTOC we also run the experimental music festival Fat Out, and music residency programme, Samarbeta, as well as working on artist commissions and events with organisations across the public and commercial sectors.
