"We have decided to allocate a big chunk of it to this year's Musicom Festival and the wider month-long Black Country Festival.

"It is an event that celebrates who we are and where we are from, and is enjoyed by thousands, so it fits the remit perfectly.

"Musicom is always a fantastic weekend, and this year will be no exception.

"Get your tickets now to secure them for the best price before our first release tickets run out."
