Coverage of V2A Fest and Bromyard Folk Festival

Heading to 'Nuke City' in Stourport – a three-day post-apocalyptic festival on 40 acres. Also, Bromyard Folk Festival returns with nearly 200 hours of entertainment all weekend.

Andrew Marston brings you the very best unsigned, undiscovered and under-the-radar music from Herefordshire & Worcestershire:

• We're heading to V2A Fest - a post-apocalyptic fantasy that comes to life in 'Nuke City' (just outside Stourport!) - as a sprawling 40-acre site becomes the home to an immersive escape from civilisation!

• The Bromyard Folk Festival is back, delivering an action-packed weekend of traditional music, song, and dance. This year, they're offering nearly 200 hours of entertainment – a remarkable journey from its humble beginnings, in 1968, where they sold just 150 tickets!

• In our Gig Guide: Line-ups for Onboard The Craft at Stoke Prior near Bromsgrove, HopFest in Bewdley, V2A Fest in Stourport, the Bromyard Folk Festival, Going Feral in the Golden Valley and the Worcester Music Festival.

• Live music from Malvern musicians (and beekeepers!) Nova Bloom, with their Foals, Kasabian and Arctic Monkeys-inspired sound.

• Previewing tomorrow's night's session from Worcestershire's First Time Flyers, as recorded on our Â鶹Éç Introducing stage at Lakefest, near Ledbury.
