Might be a bit early but where do you think big weekend will be held this year.I doubt it will be called Biggest Weekend as glasto is on this year.I wonder who will be playing.

The place where it is held is reveled Jan/Feb time I think.Normally the tickets go on sale in march.It is also Jan slam next month and I am pretty sure the last date someone wins big weekend tickets

Start predicting in the comments

I’m predicting it will be announced mid January with Stormzy as a headliner and it will be in Aberdeen! 

Most likely I will be wrong though! 

As much as I'd love it to be in Aberdeen (not that I'm bias!), I don't think there's anywhere really suitable in the city.

Anyone else find the lack of information about big weekend this year a bit strange? Greg said that the location would be announced last week and since then, it’s not been mentioned once. We normally also have a few acts announced as well by now but nothing for that either! It’s almost as if it’s all been cancelled or rearranged last minute.

It’s really weird.  Radio 1 have almost gone silent since the Jan Slam about it.  Maybe something’s gone wrong.

Its probably a case of waiting for the artist they are gonna announce to have a spare morning as they usually perform on the show on announcement day,   also something is happening to greg on monday i wonder..... maybe been kidnapped and hes gotta give clues to where he is or something also half term good timing for announcements

I’ve got a feeling whatever it is next week it’s gonna be brilliant.

My bet is Sigrid to play/announce first

I cant see sigrid being a launch artist, they usually go for a big name to draw attention in the press etc...  sigrid isnt there yet,  more likely ed sheran or miley cyrus or someone with that kinda status

Who do we think the massive name this year will be?  Ed Sheeran again?

I just took a guess she’s was winner of sound of 2018 last year and she’s always being played on radio 1 :lol: 

Ed Sheeran... He’s hasn’t realised anything in ages. Miley would be more live lounge then guest.

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
