This week sees the hotly anticipated return of BBC Radio 6 Music Festival, with international acts including Loyle Carner, Christine and the Queens and Arlo Parks taking to the stage.
The radio station's flagship event - which will see a series of world premier performances, collaborations and surprise guests - is returning to the location where it first launched nine years ago - Greater Manchester. Back for the first time since 2014, the festival will also be making the city its permanent home.
Making its big return from Friday, March 24 to Sunday 26, it is set to feature the station's hallmark mix of exciting new acts and ground-breaking old favourites in venues ranging from Victoria Warehouse to Band of the Wall and Ramona.
