This week's show is all and only live music! From festival stages across Europe, we're bringing you some of our favourite (available) performances from Primavera Sound in Barcelona this weekend and BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Sunderland a few weeks ago. Back home, we're also looking ahead to Canada's signature new music showcase festival, North By North East, that runs 10-14 June next week! We're also joined in session by one of the artists performing at the festival on 11 June, Toronto's BBQ Pope! You'll hear 3 songs recorded from their set at the Monarch Tavern in April: 'Pool Hall', 'Face The Future' and 'Pop Punk Song From 1994'. Music this week by:
The Cure, Ezra Collective, Pa Salieu, Lola Young, CMAT, Niall Horan, Rachel Chinouriri, Florence Road, DC3, FLO, BombayMami, BBQ Pope.
