Lunar Hijack in session
Andrew Marston is live from Upton Sunshine Festival, we take you to the Shrewsbury Folk Festival plus an exclusive session from our ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Introducing stage at Lakefest.
Warning: This show may contain your next obsession! Andrew Marston introduces the best new music from our area, including:
• Five stages, a lineup of more than 100 artists, and a riverside town bursting with energy – we’re live from Upton Sunshine Festival, where Ocean Colour Scene, Adam Ant, Lulu, Toyah, Boyzlife, Dodgy, and countless others are filling the weekend with unforgettable music!
• Discover the sights, sounds, and stories of Shrewsbury Folk Festival, where generations unite for four days of music, workshops, and family fun.
• In our Festival Guide: The busiest weekend of the year with other festivals including Creamfields in Cheshire, Beermageddon near Bromsgrove, Y-Fest in Ross-on-Wye, Wychfest in Droitwich and Bridgnorth Music Festival.
• Just three singles in, yet already touring the world - we're joined by Stafford's In Parallel who've packed out shows from Sydney to Budapest and stormed Boardmasters last weekend. Their meteoric rise continues as they make their Reading & Leeds debut this weekend.
• We wrap up our Farmer Phil's festival highlights with Callum & The Pookies - a Telford pop/rock band on the rise, led by The Voice UK finalist Callum Doignie, fresh from sharing stages with Sir Tom Jones to lighting up the Shropshire hills.
• Beaches, theme parks, zoos… or Holmes Chapel? This summer holiday, it’s the singer’s hometown trail that’s stealing the show for Harry Styles fans.
• In the Music News: Celebrating the Weakest Link with the Malvern composer who wrote the theme plus the Nantwich producer who's scored his 5th top 100 single of 2025.
• Continuing our sessions from the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Introducing stage at Lakefest in Herefordshire – Lunar Hijack, a Bromsgrove pop punk outfit turning everyday struggles into big, melodic anthems.
