Celebrating their 30th Birthday in style, Signal Radio decide to unleash Total Access Live on us. With more than 10 international acts ready to get involved on Saturday 10th August, the inaugural Junction 16 Festival weekend states its intention to become one of the most essential weekend festivals on the calendar.

None other than Professor Green will head up proceedings. The British born rapper has had a steady incline to the top since signing to Mike Skinner’s 'The Beats' label. Professor Green has in time become one of the leading lights of pop music, blurring the lines between rap and the mainstream.

This was shown off with his INXS sampled smash ‘Need you Tonight’, which put the London born wordsmith firmly on the map. Followed by a slew of top five mashes, numerous festival appearance, and a crammed touring schedule - Professor Green has continued to cement his status as one of the country’s leading mainstream hip hop artists.

Next up is 18 year old Londoner A*M*E. After exploding onto the pop music scene last year with a stunning twist on the reliable mainstream formula, the young diva went on to secure a place as a BBC Sound Poll finalist, and later team up with Duke Dumont for the ubiquitous number one hit Need U (100%). Her stunning career is only just starting, and with a beginning like this we can only imagine how big she is going to get.

She will be joined by Amelia Lily. Shooting to fame through her appearances on X-Factor in 2011, Amelia cemented her talent with a number one single ‘You Bring Me Joy’. With a debut album on the way, her appearance at Total Acces Live will see her show off some of her new material, underpinned by her overwhelming talent that makes her one of pop music’s ‘ones to watch’.

Fellow X-Factor favourites Union J will also be getting in on the action at Betley Court Farm. Josh Cuthbert, JJ Hamblett, Jaymi Hensley and George Shelley caused something of a stir on their way to become household names in 2012’s edition of X-Factor, proving time and again that they were a bunch of lads with serious singing abilities. They have sinced signed with Sony Music Entertainment, and hotly anticipated material is waiting in the wings. With increased stardom awaiting them, their appearance as part of Signal FM’s 30th birthday is not to be missed.

Rounding off the headliners is the fantastic StooShe. Originally conceived of as an urban and soulful reimagination of The Spice Girls, Alexandra Buggs, Karis Anderson and Courtney Rumbold have gone on to prove their they have a definite edge over the main crop of mainstream talent. With their debut album being finally released at the end of May, StooShe have acquired for themselves significant critical plaudits as well as a staggering following.
