The capacity is 35,000 this year rather than 40,000. Are they expecting less interest or is it just a smaller site?

Already feels like a 00s revival. The acts talking about ‘longevity’ with Chase and Status and Eric Prydz. Will be interesting to see if Saturday/Sunday is similar.

Is the Radio 1 social team asleep? Nothing about the announcements on social media yet

Sorry if it has been announced somewhere, I'm missing his Radio 2 show.

Taylor Swift's diary looks very empty at the end of May. She's due to play in the Netherlands after Big Weekend.

She seemed really glam and smiley on The One Show too. But yeah was surprised to see her on it given they're behind schedule.

They've poorly timed it today she won't be in Leeds until 9pm at this rate. If it was that orchestrated and getting lifts they'd have sorted that better 😂

Radio 2 is such a weird station. They still trail programmes as something you can do your ironing to, and go all big on country music. I just don't know how younger millennials are meant to listen.

It's been an excellent mechanism for promoting Matt and Mollie. And Mollie's really put a shift in. I love the physical challenges as they resonate with the audience but I do hope they can find something like the lolathon for creativity next year.

I thought Chris Stark was an exec or does that change under Jordan? He could do anything, to be honest, he has the creativity. Will be a hard one to replace.

They say only 4% listen on television so it's probably a smart financial move for the costs.

Not sure he's off anymore than any other presenter. I can think of many more that have more time off like Rylan. Scott is a key figurehead at BBC and does a lot of other things - the Eurovision stuff, the Country countdown, Bank Holiday specials. The exception seems to be the time off for his wedding which I don't think people can begrudge. Seems a little strange to join a Scott Mills fsnsite to slag off him and other presenters coincidentally.

Some good fun on Capital Breakfast this morning to celebrate Chris Stark's birthday. Hope he's having a great day 🎈

Seems odd he's not on social media if he was just off getting married. What about Masked Singer?

Not surprised to see Lauren join Life Hacks but felt like the original plan was to pair her up with Katie!

I think it was an experiment, they may have been made aware it was a short-term thing. Who knows, maybe Matt or Mollie threatened to walk and were given promotion? Maybe Dean or Vicky wanted to do something different? Don't think it all has to be seen with such negativity.

Hopefully some first show nerves...

Jamie says he isn't just a 'posh idiot' but that's literally the persona he plays to on this programme. Amazed by how little he knows about Going Home, he seems surprised by the dinner feature.

I reckon both Matt and Molie and Katie have previously been offered jobs for the weekdays and rejected them for whatever reason. Looks like they've finally accepted this time. Still think Aled makes some weird decisions with Jamie Lang and the Danny Beard choice for cover.

More wild speculation but I wonder if they envisage the other trio ending soon on Radio 1. Could there be movement for RMC soon?

Nice Instagram post from Katie

Jono pointed out it's rare that James Cusack goes to New Broadcasting House, and he was photographed there this week.

Just one slot remaining that hasn't been announced yet.

Good news for Dean that he's got his own show again after the breakfast stints.

Bit of a demotion but no surprise.
