Artist Statements
“2016 was the first year we were played on the station. Gilles Peterson gave us that invaluable moment. Since then, we have developed a deep affection for 6 Music, so being a headliner at their festival in Manchester is a true honor. See you on the dance floor,” said Ezra Collective.
Mogwai added: “We are thrilled to return to the 6 Music festival and Manchester this year. 6 Music has always championed independent music and ourselves, and it’s a great privilege to be part of this year’s celebration.”
Kae Tempest expressed excitement as well: “I have a new album, and I can’t wait for people to hear it. BBC Radio 6 Music has been such an important supporter of my work; I’m eager for listeners to experience this new direction and to express my gratitude for their support over the years.”
Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. on February 6 via www.bbc.co.uk/6musicfestival.
