BBC 6 Music presenters Steve Lamacq and Mary Anne Hobbs broadcast live from the Watershed last night, announcing that Bristol is to host BBC6 Music Festival 2016. There will be a spectacular line-up of acts gracing the city, including Bristol based legends Roni Size and Tricky, as well as Primal Scream performing as part of the launch of their new album Chaosmosis.
Hobbs said; “The 6 Music Festival is such a special event because it brings all the elements of what we do as a digital radio station into a physical space: the artists, the whole of the station’s staff and presenters, and of course our wonderful listeners.”
She went on to state that “this year, the festival is coming to Bristol, a place where music is such a primary element of the DNA of the city. It’s going to be a truly unforgettable experience.”
The festival will take place between 12–14 February, across venues including Motion, Colston Hall, O2 Academy Bristol, Basement 45 and the Trinity Centre.
Blue Aeroplanes and Geoff Barrow (Portishead)'s band Beak will also be among the performers, with full line up to be announced on 19 January. Check out the BBC6 website for more information.
