TOP DJ Mark Goodier will be heading the Radio 1 Roadshow when it hits Morecambe later this summer.

The popular presenter will be at the Morecambe Arena on July 22 - right in the middle of the resort's busy festival season.

Members of the Lancaster City Council's Arts and Events are delighted that the roadshow has come back to the resort.

Keith Lamb said: "Radio 1 approached us in December and said they would like to include Morecambe in their North West tour. It just shows how the town's regeneration has paid off."

At this stage, organisers said they don't know which bands will be appearing with the roadshow.
