City Sound Project is one of the South East's largest metropolitan music festivals, launched by the frustration at a neglected music scene in Kent by directors Chris Hawksey, Blake McCaskill and Stuart O'Leary in 2012. In just three years, the festival has grown from a single-day event with a small handful of venues, to it's current format of twenty-four headliners and twelve stages held over two days. Bringing to life the ancient locales of Canterbury, 2015’s most unique venues include the oldest Fraciscian Chapel in the UK (built in 1267), the Grade-II Listed 16^th century Penny Theatre & the secret Greyfriars Gardens, private enclave to the Fraciscian monks for nearly 800 years.

Director Chris Hawksey is incredibly pleased with this year's event; “City Sound Project aims to bring national and international-level artists at the cutting edge of their music scene, and put them in Canterbury’s ancient and unique venues & locations. We’re really pleased with some of the historic spaces our top-quality acts will be performing in"

Director Blake McCaskill has high hopes for this year’s event; "We’re expecting double the number of festival-goers as last year’s event – and are ticket sales are already reflecting that. We’re currently working on a few ‘Secret Sets’ from our headliners, with a series of unannounced gigs throughout the day in the city’s most intimate venues"

And Director Stuart O'Leary is already proud of this year's event. "I already know City Sound Project 2015 is going to be our best year yet. We’re so excited to see 3,000 people from all of the UK descend on these cobbled streets for a weekend of great vibes and great music"

Republic Events will launch its refreshed dedicated iPhone and Android app in the next two weeks: this is the only way festival goers will be able to find out the locations of all of the festival's Secret Sets – thirty minutes before they begin.
