The first names on this year’s BBC 6 Music Festival line-up have been revealed.
The radio station’s flagship festival, the four-day event will take place from Wednesday, March 26 until Saturday, March 29 at Manchester’s O2 Victoria Warehouse.
The festival will begin with a BBC Introducing event, starring up-and-coming acts including Adult DVD, Renee Stormz, and Jasmine 4.t, at the YES venue.
Those acts precede various other music and spoken word performers. The headline acts are Ezra Collective, bringing a bespoke performance that celebrates the importance of youth clubs across the country; Mogwai, with a unique collaboration with KNDS Fairey Acid Brass; and Kae Tempest’s global premiere of their new material.
“2016 was the first time we ever got played on the station,” said Ezra Collective. “Gilles Peterson gave us that precious moment. Since then it’s been a deep love for 6 Music, so to be in Manchester headlining their festival is a deep honour.
“See you on the dance floor.”
Here’s the full line-up and details on how and when to get tickets.
