our hair down and showcase some of the cream of artists we love and support on
the network.
"This
year we head to Birmingham, a city we've always had an amazing relationship
with, and we bring another incredible line up with us, including French
Montana, who's gone from strength to strength since we last welcomed him as a
surprise in 2017. His full set is going to go off.
"Aitch
is undoubtedly next up when it comes to UK rap and he's going to kill it; Ms
Banks has had a fierce year too and is brilliant live."

and grime music in the UK".

some brilliant surprise acts already lined up to perform, it's sure to be an
unmissable night."
