So with last year's location being announced around this time last year, I thought we could now start a thread wondering where it might be this year.

I want to say Hull being as it's the City of Culture this year, but it could be anywheeerrreeee.

Also, who do we think will be playing? I'm a rock/indie fan myself so don't know too much about who could be playing from different genres, but I'd imagine Rag'N'Bone man will be pretty high up Introducing. Also Ed Sheeran could be a pretty safe bet, he's a good friend of Scott & Chris especially and Radio 1 love him so maybe he could headline? I'd love to see Green Day there as well but I think that's a bit to far fetched.

Other thoughts of mine: Radiohead, You Me At Six, Royal Blood (yes please), Twin Atlantic (another yes please), Little Mix, and I guess Drake. Also, a band called The Amazons who I've interviewed for my student radio and who could easily play high on Introducing.

Anyway, what do you think?

(Also it posted twice so use this thread + ignore the other)

I think it should be somewhere up north, Hull seems a good candidate! I'd love it to be in Middlesbrough as we never get any music around here! However, it's not been in Wales since Bangor. 

In terms of performers I would love Ed Sheeran to perform as well as blossoms, Christine and the queens, Bastille, Jamie T, The weeknd, Bruno mars and Sia!

I would like to see The Big Weekend come to Aberdeen or the surrounding area this year (not just because I live here!). Aberdeen has taken a massive battering with the downturn in the oil and gas sector resulting in thousands of jobs being lost and the local economy going down the drain. Also, we had a festival here last year that Example, Katy B and Melissa Steel, all favourites on the R1 playlist performed at and it was a great success.

Who I hope to be there:

  • Christine & The Queens
  • Niall Horan
  • Sigala
  • Sean Paul
  • Dua Lipa
  • Becky Hill
  • Ray BLK
  • Rag'n'Bone Man
  • Little Mix
  • The 1975
  • Ed Sheeran
  • RAYE
  • Tinie Tempah
  • Bruno Mars
  • JP Cooper
  • The XX
  • M.O
  • Izzy Bizu
  • Chance The Rapper
  • Charli XCX
  • Foo Fighters
  • The Chainsmokers

Don't think all of these will be there but I'm hopeful at most of them will...!

I'd have thought they'd announce a massive headliner first? Kings of Leon are headlining BST in Hyde Park but R1 Big Weekend is a different matter, like Biffy Clyro only headline In New Music We Trust last year in Exeter and then headlined Reading Festival. (it was awesome)

So Kings of Leon a potential first headliner, but I doubt the massive headline grabbing acts have been revealed yet.

WHEYYYY my hometown, and proud! 

Craig David will likely be there, seeing as he's always on R1. Perhaps The 1975 and Ed Sheeran? 

Probably no huge international names like 1D or Taylor Swift, but I'm hopeful.

Well I think Little Mix are probably one of the biggest acts in the U.K right now! I'm hoping I may get tickets as its come to Yorkshire yay!

Are they going to announce any more before they release the full lineup. Last year by now, there were already 7 acts on the bill.

There is definitely a lack of hype this year - I don't understand why they'd release the location and three acts, then basically forget about it for two months!

Are you just really lucky with the ticket lottery Jono? You always manage to go, it's incredible. Thought you might have something to do with R1 in your job, or they just rewarded you for being the loyal admin of this site. Either way, have an amazin time.

The midlands and south coast are really overdue a visit - they haven't been to Wales for a while either. Maybe next year they could go to see the Scott Mills statue in Southampton? Seems to me that they don't do big cities - wonder why. Maybe they don't want to encroach on Capital/Bauer City 1 territory.

They have never been to West Yorkshire. I live in Leeds and emailed a while back cheekily asking why they never come and they said it's because Leeds has Leeds fest. I just wish I could afford to pay the tickets for Leeds festival!

I'd say they mean Scott as in Scott&Chris.

No, they mean Scott. Chris isn't a presenter. Scott's name above the door, as they say. His name on the schedules, the voiceovers etc. Him and Chris aren't joined at the hip but I'd say Chris will pop up as a roving reporter chatting to people across the two days.

Pretty sure they don't have any live TV coverage anymore since BBC3 closed and it's all on iPlayer/ the website. Greg and Fearne never used to be on the radio over Big Weekends because they were hosting the live BBC3 coverage in the evenings. That would be Greg and Clara now if they still did it so the fact they're both doing a lot of the radio coverage and that live TV coverage isn't really necessary to reach the R1 target audience would suggest there's none

Maybe it will be on the website live to stream? or Iplayer will have a special R1 channel for the days?

    • There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1. 
    • I’m pleased for Mylo and Rosie, they were highly thought of in our local area and definitely worthy of that slot 
    • I’m thinking the same redding and Leeds etc 
    • -Considering how little Jamie has appeared since Vick went off on maternity, it probably would've been more sensible to have Sam & Danni taking over from that point and have him return with Katie. - Mylo and Rosie are apparently very good and one of the more popular local presenters who lost their slot when Hits went fully national. I gather they are very popular in Yorkshire. I can see them definitely see them popping up again beyond this stint. -Life Hacks cover is yet another good opportunity for some new voices (I know Yinka has popped up in the past). I have enjoyed Pete Allison covering though. I'm assuming most of August's Friday to Sunday 1-4pm will be made up of festival coverage.
    • - Jamie Laing will take a break from Going Home from 28th July. Sam and Danni will cover. - Greg James will host his show until 11am from 21st July (Monday to Thursday only). - Mylo and Rosie, who previously hosted Hits Radio Breakfast in West Yorkshire, will host Friday EB in July. - Charley Marlowe of TikTok fame will host Friday EB in August. - Tskenya Frazer will host Life Hacks with Lauren Layfield in July, whilst Yinka Bikinni will host with Lauren in August. - Jamie Laing and Katie Thistleton will return to Going Home in September.
