The Maccabees will play two shows on the closing day of this year's Liverpool Sound City.

Sound City Festival Director Dave Pichilingi said, "Eat Your Own Ears and The Maccabees fit perfectly with the Sound City ethos. Eat Your Own Ears are the coolest promoters in the UK. They promote and book for some of the best festivals in the UK including Field Day and underage Festival. Their line ups are always eclectic and like our very own bookers they have those amazing ears and knack to book the right things at the right time. They do not jump on bandwagons but instead serve to present the best acts before anybody else gets to hear of them. Notable successes over the past few years include Hot Chip, The Temper Trap, Florence and the Machine and The Big Pink. Like our bookers they have worked with Maccabees from their earliest roots. This is going to be a must see show for Sound City 2010."

These latest acts join the previously announced Paloma Faith, Speech Debelle and Wave Machines.

Tickets are priced at £45 for a festival weekend ticket, with individual concert tickets also available. To buy tickets, click here.
