The Matt Wilkinson Show

Tune in to The Matt Wilkinson Show, and you’ll be guided through the best new music—across alternative and beyond—by someone who’s obsessed with seeking it out for you. “It’s about sharing the best new discoveries with my listeners,” says Matt, “and reflecting what’s happening in the most exciting corners of culture.” And you can be sure that if he’s buzzing about an artist, you should be too: He was championing talents including Fontaines D.C., Little Simz, Clairo, Geese, Tame Impala and Wolf Alice before most people had even heard of them. Expect plenty of big names and legends as well—people, says the host, who have “paved the way for decades and changed music culture forever”. Whoever he’s chatting to, Matt will never tire of the thrill that comes from “connecting with artists who strive to change the game”. He goes especially deep with them on 5 Best Songs, the series in which he sets artists—who’ve included Billie Eilish, Mark Ronson, Hayley Williams, Arctic Monkeys and Charli xcx—the “impossible task” of sharing their five favourite songs on Apple Music. Listen to The Matt Wilkinson Show from Monday to Friday on Apple Music 1 at 11 am LDN and 6 am NYC—and join a community of listeners from all around the world who’ve found their home for the best music to know now.
