“Bradford is such a vibey place.”
Describing what people can expect from the night, the radio host said: “It’s a place everybody can have a good time. There’s something for everyone.
“Bradford is such a young, cool city. Doing something like this brings in what Bradford is all about.
“It’s about having a good time, a bit of a boogie and a party. We have a lot of listeners from up North, all over the country, and a lot from Bradford. It’s nice to be here and meet the people who message into the show.
“Bradford is on the radar, everyone knows Bradford. It was the place that used to do day timers, it was a place for that music scene.
“It’s going to be fire. We’ve got our whole Asian Network family on that stage. If you want to come and dance, Asian Network will be the place to be on that dance floor.
“When everybody comes together, the energy goes through the roof.”
The line-up features international superstar F1rstman, Leicester rapper JJ Esko, Sheffield hit-maker Sliime, Dj Kizzi and Dj Simz.
