After the announcement The Human League wrote on Facebook: "We are very proud and pleased to announce that we are headlining the 10th Anniversary Sound City Festival in Liverpool on Thursday 25th May 2017."
On the other hand, there were some very excited responses from the younger groups...
The Hunna said: "We told you we'd be back... Liverpool 🙌🏼"
April added: "Hugely overwhelmed and flabbergasted to announce that we'll be appearing at this years Liverpool Sound City! 💥💥 YESURRRR!!!"
One of the hottest bands to make their way to the top last year, Cabbage said: "We are very delighted to share with you our blessed return to Liverpool Sound City. Although judging by this poster, it's a damn shame we are most unlikely to be at the other days such as Friday due to our relentless tour schedule but HAVING SAID THAT, we will do our best in producing some hard graft goods on Sunday.
"Nothing beats being in the land of Scouse stew, we will prevail!"
The Kooks added: "So excited to be headlining the Sunday bill for Liverpool Sound City!"
