It’s taking place in the BBC Radio Theatre I believe, so in theory they can alternate with one in the theatre and one in the studio, whether they’d actually do that is a different matter.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Dave was one of the two big names

oooh good detective work, I’m hoping for Florence and The Machine

Clara said there will be more big weekend news on Wednesday, this is likely to be the two big names that Greg was talking about

Is anyone going to try and go to Coventry?

Sounds like the future sounds stage is a second main stage in all but name, especially as there is still a separate BBC introducing stage

Foals headlining Future Sounds stage on Sunday of big weekend

Is there any evidence of a new slogan on any new branding? If so, it’d be safe to assume there’s new jingles

Greg has it too, seems they are updating one at a time. I’m sure the new look has been inspired by TV testcards.

New Newsbeat and images for some shows including EB and M&M on BBC Sounds, definitely evolution rather than revolution

they’ve done that in the past before, and of course Glastonbury never releases the lineup until after the tickets have gone on sale Sunday has made the lineup more equal in terms of gender which is great

Lorde announced for Sunday of big weekend. Hopefully Sunday will have more female/non binary representation Two more big names to be announced for Sunday

New Radio 1 logo is now the profile picture for R1’s social media

I remember on the first 11am show Scott and Chris did back in 2020, it started with them pretending Scott was at his “Booty Blast” class, and it was then explained Scott normally had that at 11am, implying he wasn’t normally in at that time

Sam Fender is headlining the future sounds stage on Saturday, that’s a great booking

probably not as he is performing in Cardiff on the Saturday evening

Ed Sheeran performing on Saturday of Big Weekend. They are simulcasting the announcement on BBC Coventry and Warwickshire, I believe this is the first time they’ve simulcast on the relevant local station? Phil Upton, the DJ on CWR, faded out the song and they’ve went back to their normal show

He’s presented on the News Channel before, wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up on there in a more permanent capacity

Grimmy has a memoir coming out in October about his childhood and career

The Christmas Day schedule was great this year, I loved every show as they all felt very fun and warm.

Interesting that some brief credits were read out at the end of Newsbeat a moment ago

I’m enjoying Dean’s show, it’s pretty good so far, he sounds perfect for the time of day

Complete The Year involves a contestant answering 12 questions, one for each month of a pre determined year, with the questions getting harder as the game progresses and the contestant has to “Complete The Year” by getting 12 correct answers. I think it’s a great concept

very interesting, if it’s only been scheduled in the last few days I guess management are impressed with the show

I enjoyed Judge Jordan. New game tomorrow - I’ve got a problem - from the description it’s like I’m a celebrity get out of my ear on Saturday night takeaway, Jordan tells Vick what to say on the phone to someone
