Following Laverne, DJ Mary Anne Hobbs will broadcast her show live from 10.30am to 1pm from Bluecoat, Liverpool’s centre for the contemporary arts.
She said: “Ever since The Beatles came together as teenagers in 1957 and changed the musical landscape for all time, Liverpool has been a city that has inspired generations of musicians.
“I’m excited that we have a chance at the 6 Music Festival to explore the Liverpool scene in 2019.”
