Video: Damon Albarn, The National and more perform at inaugural BBC 6Music Festival


There was one of the first live outings from Damon Albarn since the Blur frontman unveiled his maiden solo venture ‘Everyday Robots‘, a cracking closing set from The National and a performance from the returning Horrors as the impressive line-up for the inaugural BBC 6Music festival played out in Manchester during the weekend just gone.

The BBC 6Music YouTube page has a number of performances from the two-day event available now, with a select few posted below.

It was the Victoria Warehouse in Manchester which hosted the festival on Friday, February 28th and Saturday, March 1st. “The BBC Radio 6 Music Festival brings a wonderful 6 Music line up of performances to music fans – one which reflects the fantastic range of artists that BBC Radio 6 Music offers listeners every day,” Bob Shennan – controller of BBC Radio 2, 6Music, the Asian Network and popular music – remarked in January.

“And the venue is also a stone’s throw from Media City, which is home to many of BBC Radio 6 Music’s shows.”
