Gilles Peterson said "We have been doing the Worldwide Winners on Radio 1 for a good few years now and it gets a huge response from listeners. Last year we took it to the next level with the first physical event at Cargo with performances from SA RA among others. This year the event comes from the much larger venue KOKO with a killer line-up. I'm delighted that this annual event has become a fixture in the musical calendar. My main aim is to draw attention to the musical scene that is championed every week on 'Worldwide'."
Tickets are on sale to the general public via www.ticketweb.co.uk Radio 1 will also be giving away some tickets on-air.
