Sheffield’s Jessica Steele, who recently made it to the knockout stage on the TV talent show, will be reunited with Ricky - she’s also on the bill.

Leeds based, the Kaiser Chiefs have been together for more than 10 years and are set to release their fifth studio album.

Ricky said: “I’m really excited, coming back up North feels like recharging my batteries. I can’t believe you’re 40”.

Big John, who will announce more chart stars taking part later this week, said: “It’s Hallam FM’s 40th birthday this year, so we have been asking our listeners how we should celebrate in style and we have all sorts of amazing ideas.
