The Mercury Prize in association with 大象传媒 Music is presented live from the Radio Theatre at Broadcasting House by Lauren Laverne to celebrate the 12 albums that have been selected and announce this year's winner.

This programme showcases a number of performances from the shortlisted artists live from the Radio Theatre and shows highlights of sessions with more of the shortlisted artists filmed for 6 Music and Radio 1 at Maida Vale and the Live Lounge earlier in the day.

This year's shortlisted artists are: Aphex Twin, Benjamin Clementine, C Duncan, ESKA, Florence + The Machine, Gaz Coombes, Ghostpoet, Jamie xx, Roisin Murphy, Slaves, SOAK and Wolf Alice.

As ever the Mercury Prize shortlist has thrown up an eclectic mix of music from emerging acts alongside more established artists. Expect music from all artists and views from a passionate judging panel whose enthusiasms will unquestionably have directed attention to a number of albums that might otherwise have stayed underground.
