Celebrating live music with new and classic performances from 6 Music.
6 Music's flagship festival returned to Greater Manchester this year with another incredible line up.
We were taken on a genre-twisting musical journey spanning the last decade, with a set including Get Up from their 2014 Mercury Prize-winning album Dead and the uplifting Rice, from their latest album Heavy Heavy. And the feelings were clearly mutual. “I’m so grateful, I wish I could hug you all,” she said at one point in her inimitable Arkansas twang.
And then it was time for Standing In The Way Of Control, as activists from the LGBTQ+ community joined Beth on stage for a glorious end to Friday night.And so to our headliners - The Smile and the London Contemporary Orchestra; a world exclusive performance and the first time that Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood and Tom Skinner’s new project have performed live with an orchestra.
The G-Funk architect performed tracks from his Worlds End FM album and it was easy to see why the East Londoner has exploded onto the scene. His warm, cheeky yet frequently poignant lyrics lit up the venue.The Irish musician performed a stunning set of her Americana-infused pop. And she too had a little surprise up her sleeve.
