Steve Lamacq reports back from last week's Great Escape Festival in Brighton — the UK’s annual showcase for new and emerging artists.

Across this special programme, Steve brings you exclusive live performances from the BBC Introducing night at the legendary Paganini Ballroom from Welly, The None, Fuzz Lightyear, and Westside Cowboy.

Alongside this, Steve has in-depth conversations with industry insiders, musicians and tastemakers including Chloe Slater, Men An Tol and Rizzle Kicks. Together they’ll explore the current state of the live music scene, how artists are navigating a changing industry, and what the future holds for new talent. Expect honest chat, great music, and the signature Lamacq insight into the sounds shaping tomorrow.

As well as this, Steve has brand new music to play from Suede.
