Euphoric trance in Middleport Pottery's bottle kiln: Tomorrowland eat your heart out! The Biddulph DJ celebrates 100 years of Stoke-on-Trent, with Andrew Marston.

Warning: This show may contain future headliners! Andrew Marston introduces the best new music from our area, including:

• Catching up with our local superstars who took Glastonbury by storm - Redditch and Stafford’s rave pioneers Altern8, fresh from nine sets, and Stoke-on-Trent’s Cocoh, back for her second time lighting up Worthy Farm.

• Highlights from the GlastonBeoley Music Festival, which took place in Redditch over the weekend.

• Catching up with the unstoppable force that is Shrewsbury’s Acrobvt - the band swapping hometown gigs for European arenas as they join legendary pop diva Anastacia on tour.

• Behind the enchanting music of The Hobbit, Sherlock Holmes, Mary Poppins Returns, Prometheus, Robin Hood, Kung Fu Pana and The Great Gatsby, Malvern’s Ranagri bring their unique blend of cinematic and folk influences live to the show.

• Bringing you all the action from the Upton Jazz Festival, which welcomed thousands of festival-goers to the town at the weekend.

• In our Music News: Shropshire welcomes Ella Henderson, The Vengaboys and Toploader for unforgettable live shows. In Cheshire, Razorlight, UB40 and 10CC are heading for centre stage. Plus, a Worcestershire DJ is celebrating a career milestone - playing live for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 1 in Ibiza.

• When the street turns sour, Shrewsbury’s Jason Allan reveals why anti-social behaviour is forcing him to hang up his busking mic in some cities.

• Incredible musicians, extraordinary places: To celebrate 100 years of Stoke-on-Trent, we’re showcasing six local DJs performing their original music in each of the city’s six towns. Mixing Stoke’s rich ceramics past with soaring trance music fired at kiln temperatures, Jordan Tilstone's live session is an epic celebration of place, passion and pounding bass!
