I heard a trail on Adele's show this morning about 0455 (yes I was up that early driving to work) with Greg starting to announce it then Jordan butting in saying "Not yet Greg"

It should be Coventry next year & they need to spread it across all four countries to a certain degree. At the end of the day there’s also only so many councils that are able to provide funding for events like this, look at Coventry turning it down a good few years ago.

We seem to be going over the places that One Big Weekend used to visit. 

But either way I'd be so pissed off if I was Radio 1 and a local newspaper had spoiled the announcement like that.

I back this idea. Bring it to the Midlands!

I wonder if this will still happen! They’ve been very quiet about it on air recently and I’d have thought that they would have announced more artists or ticket information by now.

Oh yeah! I've heard of a few large events/festivals being cancelled already. Though maybe they're hoping it will have died down a bit by May. They were very quiet about the Teen Awards until not long before as well.

I 've just seen on Beth (station sound voice) Insta stories that she is currently recording voice over for something to do with a big weekend. So think the best term is watch this space

A bit annoying but probably the correct decision. It does mean that any fun about guessing the location for next year will be taken away now though, which is frustrating as that’s another year without it being in the midlands.

I would say it is the right choice given what going on. 

This is radio 1, so I hope they will find a way. or go somewhere ells

Interesting that the Big Weekend won't go ahead at all, as opposed to it merely being postponed like most other things have been.

Depending on how the situation unfolds over the coming months, I can see the Ibiza Weekend having the same fate unfortunately.

I think this is maybe that Big weekend is seen as many and by radio 1  to be the first big festival and that it USP. And radio 1 don't want to lose that.

It's not that – it's that it's a HUGE amount of work, and with no way of knowing if/when the situation will change, you can't plan it properly.

    • 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.
