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.

Could’ve gone Pete Tong... 

Something tells me it’s another biggest weekend or at least a bigger weekend. That’s why perhaps

That wouldn't be a reason for the announcement to be delayed. Such a move would have been decided ages and ages ago.

Yeah, they’ll have known all the plans for months.  Maybe some logistics have fallen through.

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.

    • That's correct. Vick according to the schedule is Mondays only for now and Jamie is Monday-Tuesday with the schedule both saying he's in and on not in on Wednesdays.

    • Scott opened Thursday by immediately clocking the pace of the inbox, saying it was “one of those mornings where you can tell people have woken up ready to talk.” Ellie Brennan and Tina Daheley were both in studio, with Scott checking in on them and joking that “we haven’t even warmed up yet and you’re all already in full voice.” The early links were light, with Scott narrating what was coming up and reminding listeners they were heading into “a proper Thursday show.” There were quick resets, music breathing space and familiar back-announcing, with Scott repeatedly acknowledging how fast messages were landing and half-laughing that “this is already a lot before seven.” Ellie noted that voice notes were stacking up unusually early, while Tina commented that people seemed keen to respond to each other as much as the programme. Motherhood chat, but not a phone-in The main theme emerged around motherhood and social media expectations, introduced by Scott reading a listener message about feeling like she was “constantly failing compared to what I see online.” Scott paused on it, saying “this comes up a lot, doesn’t it,” but was careful to keep the show moving rather than letting it settle into a single-issue phone-in. Ellie talked about how curated feeds distort reality, while Tina pointed out that “nobody posts the day where everything went wrong.” Scott reframed the discussion several times, reminding listeners that “you’re hearing highlights, not real life,” before deliberately breaking the run with music and a reset, saying they’d “come back to this — but not all at once.” Voice notes, relief and shared laughs As voice notes came in, the tone varied. Some were reflective, others lighter, with Scott reacting in the moment rather than letting each one sit heavily. When one mum admitted she didn’t enjoy every moment, Scott replied simply, “you’re allowed to feel like that,” before immediately moving on to the next message to stop it lingering. Ellie noted quietly that a lot of messages ended with apologies — “sorry if this sounds awful” — which Scott picked up on, saying, “you all keep apologising — you don’t need to.” He then undercut the intensity by joking that “this has turned into group therapy before 7am,” before laughing and playing a record. Listeners responded to each other as much as the show, which Scott acknowledged on air, saying it felt like “people talking to people rather than just talking to us,” while still steering the programme forward. Pause for Thought and breathing space Pause for Thought slotted neatly into the running order, continuing the theme without deepening it. The speaker focused on compassion, comparison and letting go of unrealistic expectations. Scott thanked them afterwards, saying it “fits with what people have been saying this morning,” and deliberately left a short pause before moving on. Ellie observed that the slot felt like “a natural breather” in the show, which Scott agreed with, before resetting the mood with music and lighter links. The handover Scott handed over to Vernon Kay by briefly outlining what the morning had been about. Vernon picked up on the listener response, saying it sounded like “one of those shows where people really got involved.” Scott agreed, replying that “they really did today,” and mentioned the volume of messages still waiting.
