Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand will be swapping hats for the opening set on Sunday 7 January, going from supertar defender to label boss as he showcases two rising talents from his White Chalk Music label, the sultry Nia Jai, who was the label's first female signing, and the full-on Melody. The following week, red turns to Blue as local-hero-gone-huge Simon Webbe takes control. He'll be playing out new material from Manchester's UK Team, with some quality upfront hip hop from the likes of Hoodman, H20, Hayes and Riddla.
