The full line-up for this year’s 6 Music Festival has been revealed.

The five-day event will feature the likes of Michael Kiwanuka, Mike Skinner, Roisin Murphy and Bombay Bicycle Club.

Taking place through the day and into the night, the festival will be spread across four Camden venues — Roundhouse, FEST Camden, Dingwalls and Electric Ballroom — and feature live music, DJ sets, Q&As and more.

Kiwanuka will headline the Roundhouse main space on the evening of March 6, joined by Alabama Shakes frontwoman Brittany Howard and rock experimentalists Black Midi.

Other highlights include an International Women’s Day celebration at the Roundhouse on March 8, with performances from Kate Tempest, Kim Gordon, Anna Meredith, Jehnny Beth and Nadine Shah.

Elsewhere there will be shows from Afrobeat collective Kokoroko, Hoxton rapper Kojey Radical, hotly tipped songwriter Beabadoobee and more.

The festival, which is run by BBC Radio 6 Music, launched in 2014 and has since moved around the country, first based in Manchester and later in Tyneside, Bristol and beyond.
