It will air on Sky Max and NOW TV, and as always will feature some brilliant guests from the music world.

Some of the first appearances will include Courtney Love, Gossip singer Beth Ditto as well as Mel B and Perrie of Little Mix fame.

“I am genuinely thrilled to be returning to the mayhem of Buzzcocks but realistically who reads these press quotes and why?” Davies said.

"Watch the show please and in between episodes get out into the air, talk to your partner, read to your children. Live, for god’s sake live.”

Sky executive Phil Edgar-Jones continued: “It’s the starriest line-up you could hope for this year on Buzzcocks with something to satisfy every musical taste from the ‘90s through the noughties via boy and girl bands right to the present day.

“Throw in a healthy dose of unpredictability and mad comedy and you’d got the perfect fourth album.”

Greg previously told NME: “I enjoy the chaos and chaotic side of what we’ve produced."

"What I love is that musicians are not arriving with their slick PR machines – they can’t hide behind a way that they’ve previously presented themselves. Mercifully, all the guests we’ve had on were great – so natural and fun and I hope they relish getting to show a different side of themselves.”

"The excitement for me as host is that I get to meet up-and-coming musicians I didn’t particularly know the work of like Aitch the rapper, but then there are nostalgic moments for me like having Shaun Ryder and Bez on, where – as a huge Happy Mondays fan – I was transported right back to the ‘90s.”
