• Our Featured Artist is a Telford musician who’s collaborated with McFly, surprised Yungblud fans and performs to thousands of followers all over the UK.

• In our Festival Guide: Discover what’s on at this weekend's Lichfield Festival, meet the minds behind Shrewsbury’s Oktoberfest and get a sneak peek at the Hay Festival Winter Weekend.

• Having grown up across ten foster homes in all six towns of Stoke, Dylan Cartlidge channels his experiences into trippy, boundary-pushing hip-hop on our ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Introducing stage as part of the city's centenary.

• From a Silverdale council estate to cruise ships across 72 countries, Bobby J’s journey has been extraordinary. After Netflix fame and viral success, he returns to Stoke City’s stadium with ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Introducing to celebrate the city that shaped him.
