05 December 2023 - Press release

 

Today on her BBC Radio 6 Music show (weekdays, 7.30am-10.30am), Lauren Laverne announced that the 6 Music Festival 2024 will take place from Thursday 7 – Sunday 10 March.  

The station’s flagship live music festival, which is now based permanently in Greater Manchester, will once again feature unique performances you won’t see anywhere else, as well as DJ sets from emerging and established acts. 

It will offer a mix of daytime, evening and late-night events from the area’s legendary venues.

Samantha Moy, Head of BBC Radio 6 Music says: “Last year’s festival was a triumph – amazing artists, distinctive and world-exclusive performances and a true celebration of Greater Manchester’s ever-flourishing music scene. This year we’re back to the Festival’s home to bring you your favourite bands and artists with a 6 Music Festival twist. See you in March!”

The full line-up and venues will be announced in the New Year.

Many of 6 Music’s presenters will also be broadcasting their shows live from MediaCityUK in Salford and from the festival venues during the event.

Highlights will also be broadcast on BBC Four, BBC iPlayer and the BBC Music YouTube channel.
