Steve is joined by James May, whose Man Lab series reunites a now middle-aged teenage rock band and gets them to play their first concert in 20 years.

Steve welcomes James May, who in his new series Man Lab has reunited a teenage rock band, now middle aged, and got them to play their first concert in 20 years - in front of 5,000 unsuspecting festival goers.

He'll also be chatting with another Good Day Bad Day Caller to try to root out some of their darkest musical secrets. Plus he'll be playing some of the best new music around as well as some interesting selections from his home collection. Expect the likes of Orange Juice, Otis Redding and OMD.
