Radio X marks 10 years with special Manchester gig in November

Radio X is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a live event in Manchester featuring Blossoms, Hard-Fi, Jake Bugg and Circa Waves.

The one-off show, Radio X is Ten Live with Škoda, takes place at the O2 Apollo Manchester on 3 November and will be hosted by the station’s long-time presenter Sunta Templeton, who will also DJ between performances.

North-west favourites Blossoms will return home for the show, fresh from releasing their fifth studio album Gary last year, while Liverpool’s Circa Waves will bring their high-energy indie anthems including T-Shirt Weather and Movies.

Jake Bugg, who recently released his sixth album A Modern Day Distraction, will perform tracks from across his career, and Hard-Fi will make an appearance as part of their own milestone, marking 20 years since the release of their debut Stars of CCTV.

The concert celebrates a decade of Radio X, which launched in 2014. Tickets will be available through a Radio X pre-sale on Global Player from 9am on 24 September, before going on general sale at 9am on 26 September via the app.
