Yes, it's time for T. For the first time, the BBC Introducing stage will be at Scotland's biggest festival this weekend with another two days of incredible new music from across the BBC Introducing network.
Check out the Introducing site for all the details of who's on Saturday and Sunday, and check back for highlights next week.
Sadly, the wonderful Orphans and Vandals had to pull out due to illness, and we're grateful to fresh-faced Scottish newcomer Alex Gardner who agreed to step up at the last minute.
It's a mighty strong line-up, with the likes of Dananananaykroyd, Broken Records, Brighton's Telegraphs, London-based MC, Lowkey and many more all appearing over the weekend.
Me and Vic Galloway will co-present highlights too, next Wednesday 12-2am on Radio 1. And if you're going, see you there!
Ready? Got your wellies and suncream etc packed? No? Well don't worry because we will be recording all the sets on the BBC Introducing Stage this year, and you can hear the highlights on the show next week. I'm excited about so many of the artists on the stage this year, it's a varied line up and that's what the legendary festival is all about. Enjoy yourself, whether it's from the comfort of your own sofa or actually in the field!
I'm back from Sonar festival in Barcelona, and it was yet another essential year for new music out there. Folks from all over Europe head to Sonar for the latest in beats, bass and bleeps, and the BBC Introducing showcase went down well spectacularly well. Edinburgh's Young Fathers played a great set with their fast rhymes and faster moves. La Roux was well and truly Introduced to the rest of Europe, with everyone cramming in to the village area (the biggest stage) to see them). And dubstep-trombone-maestro Bass Clef got everyone dancing in a wonky fashion during his set.
You can hear highlights from these, and from Mary Anne Hobbs' showcase with Martyn, Joker and the Gaslamp Killer, on the show this Wednesday at 9pm and from midnight across England.
