Have to say that up until now I had no idea Carlisle had an airport :confused:

But yeah, as Doovde said it wasn't a particularly well-kept secret, seems like most people have known about this for a good couple of weeks.

And Viv - last time I checked the Big Weekend was a free event...

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

Ah, somehow I knew it would be Gaga.

Yeah, admittedly it's not a bad line-up for a free event. Sadly it's not quite enough to tempt me though.

Well Radio1 just love (over)pushing Gaga anyways don't they, so of course she was gonna be headlining...

That said I'd also over-push Gaga... over the nearest cliff.

A very good line up. Gaga is up there with the choice of Madonna four years ago. My Chemical Romance and Foo Fighters are great for the festival too.

I doubt you'll be able to fly to Carlisle, as far as i know it's just a freight airport (mainly eddie stobart stuff). It's a bit of a way out of the city centre though so i imagine there will be shuttle buses from the train station etc.

SO EXCITED.

Mike if we don't get tickets it's a travesty!

why? It will be on the TV!! And the radio!! :| Apparently, according to the R1 website, you're still not guaranteed the tickets if you live nearby?!?!

I wish people would get a grip sometimes. I haven't even applied, and *shrugs* I'm just gonna switch on the TV - avoid the crowds!! :hahaha: AND, I won't even have to buy my own food!!

People have even been offering to s*** Mills to get tickets. Seriously!! :rolleyes:

Delta Machine, Depeche Mode - buy NOW !!

That's not particularly shocking considering that there's 40,000 tickets and over 70,000 people live in Carlisle.

If it's me you're referring to when you stated: "I wish people would get a grip sometimes" then I understand all of what you said above that. I actually meant it'd be nice if I, and Mike for that matter, undoubtedly after years and years of applying of OBW tickets we were able to get them seeing as it's in the county where we live. And if that means I need to "get a grip" as you so kindly put it, then so be it.

Just because you don't want to go doesn't mean others don't, Viv.

Yeh, but many would be well passed a BW though, wouldn't they!! I think?!?!

I've applied for tix after all....

Why? I thought watching it on TV was more than adequate for you.

I'm really rooting for the people of Cumbria to get the chance to go to OBW. It would indeed be a travesty if Mike, Emma and SebD (if he wants them) don't get tickets!

So after moaning about the cost of getting there etc and extolling the virtues of watching on TV in the comfort of your own home with food you 'dont have to pay for', you still applied anyways Viv?

In a way I now HOPE you get tickets and have to go. That'd teach ya...

Personally not much about this lineup grabs me, especially not Gagaaargh, Black Eyes with Peas and Nicole Shertlifter etc.

Foo Fighters, Plan B and maybe Tinie are the acts I'll be looking for in the TV coverage, if they were to add Flo to the lineup I might rethink that.

oh and look:

and during that time you'll get sucked in yet again, Viv... At least I maintain my cynicism, even when it's about charidee :hahaha:

Sometimes I really HATE being right... but this isn't one of Those times :hahaha:

      Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter.

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now
