| - Sound City is a 2013 documentary film produced and directed by Dave Grohl, in his directorial debut, about the history of recording studio Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, Los Angeles. After the closing credits there is a short, silent segment of a home movie showing a band getting set up. The picture freezes on one person and the following text appears: "In memory of Brian Hauge (1970 – 2012)." He was the key grip of the film.
- Sound City was an annual music festival organised and broadcast by BBC Radio One between 1992 and 2003. Beginning in 1992 in Norwich, the format of Sound City comprised a week of gigs, events and seminars, hosted by a different city each year. Although appearances by national and international bands were a feature of the lineups, an important element of the festival was to publicise the host city's venues and promoters and give exposure to local talent.

- Sound City was an annual music festival organised and broadcast by BBC Radio One between 1992 and 2003. Beginning in 1992 in Norwich, the format of Sound City comprised a week of gigs, events and seminars, hosted by a different city each year. Although appearances by national and international bands were a feature of the lineups, an important element of the festival was to publicise the host city's venues and promoters and give exposure to local talent. Sound City was initially held in April but from 1997 onwards the festival was moved to October. In 2000, the event was rebranded as One Live. There were three “One Live” festivals that year: a mini event held in London over a weekend in April, another small-scale happening in Birmingham in May and then the usual week-long festival in Cardiff in October. 2003's visit to Brighton appears to have been the last such event. Thereafter, efforts and resources seem to have been concentrated on the smaller but twice yearly One Big Weekend events that commenced with a visit to Manchester in May 2003 [1]. Cardiff was the next host, in September 2003 [2], followed by Londonderry in April 2004 [3], Birmingham in September 2004 [4] and Sunderland in May 2005 [5]. Rebranded as Radio 1's Big Weekend [6], the festival was restored to being an annual event the following year. Dundee was the host in May 2006 [7], followed by Preston (May 2007) [8], Maidstone (May 2008) [9], Swindon (May 2009) [10], Bangor (May 2010) [11], Carlisle (May 2011) [12], Hackney (June 2012) [13], Londonderry (May 2013) [14], Glasgow (May 2014) [15], Norwich (May 2015) [16], Exeter (May 2016) [17] and Hull (May 2017) [18].
