Not off to Suffolk for Latitude Festival this weekend? Don't grumble, the BBC will be broadcasting from the site all weekend.

With BBC 6Music taking over the second stage from the Word magazine (RIP), they've gone Latitude crazy, and set-up their big trucks to broadcast live sets from the Main Stage and their own 6Music tent. They also have most of the 6Music shows coming atcha, plus special shows hosted by Lauren Laverne and Steve Lamacq (who'll have Kraftwerk's set! This Sunday from 8pm-2am, Red Button will have highlights from Kraftwerk’s set on a loop!).
