Loyle Carner played the Victoria Warehouse on March 24th.

Loyle Carner was one of the main events at last weekend’s BBC 6 Music Festival, which from this year has made Manchester its permanent home.

“Mad,” Carner said when he was announced. “Six years since we last played 6 Music Festival. Feels good to be back.”

The shows evolved a lot since back then, lucky to share the stage with some of my musical heroes. Got a few extra voices coming through to lift us up too.

“6 Music will be rooted in Salford over time, so we’re bringing the festival back home to Greater Manchester, where it all began, with some incredible performances,” Head of 6 Music Samantha Moy added.

“You may have seen Arlo Parks, Christine and the Queens and Loyle Carner before, but you won’t have seen them like this before. It promises to be a very special weekend indeed.”
