Beth brightens up your Saturday with a healthy dose of tunes, laughs and caffeine! This week, she’s taking us back to Primavera Sound 2026 with some live music from The Cure and The xx. The Caffeine Kick is a listener special, comprised of picks from Jonathan, Kev and Dom that span The Godfathers, The Wildhearts and Little Simz. Elsewhere in the show, Beth's got a brand new Matter in the form of a Moldovan pop record, and plenty more good music from Rufus Wainwright, Jobriath, Le Tigre et al.

Produced by We Are Grape for BBC Radio 6 Music.
