Steve presents a festival special and is joined by Melvin Benn of Festival Republic, Kat Morris of the Great Escape and Andy Smith from Kendal Calling.

Steve has a festival special looking at the state of the UK festival scene in 2014. To discuss this are Melvin Benn MD of Festival Republic, Kat Morris Festival Director of The Great Escape and Andy Smith Co-Founder Kendal Calling.

We celebrate the launch of The Sound of Style season, a collaboration between BBC Four and 6 Music looking at the love affair and inextricably linked relationship between fashion and music since the 1960s. BBC Four's three-part series, Oh You Pretty Things, starts tonight at 9pm. It is narrated by Lauren Laverne and each episode is sound-tracked by a 6 Music presenter, bringing their music expertise to showcase the social history, sounds and looks of the period. Don Letts has sound-tracked episode one.

On each Wednesday the series airs, 6 Music will be playing music across the shows reflecting the years covered in that evening's programme, so today will be styling their music and chat around the 1960s and early 1970s. The shows will be playing the tracks that Don has sound-tracked, plus other gems from this era, and listeners will hear Don at the top of each show talking about his music choices.

Steve looks back at this years best festivals with Melvin Benn, Kat Morris and Andy Smith. Plus, he has fashion related session tracks, as part of 6 Music Celebrates fashion.
