Larna del ray might be one as she is doing a big tour soon 

I’d think she’d be a good one to perform at the festival. For coverage of dance and future sounds stages it would be good to have Alyx Holcomb and Charlie Tee there doing some to raise their profiles

Sigrid, Charli XCX, Mø, Aitch, Olivia Rodrigo, Jax Jones feel are possible. Wetleg, Camilla Cabello, Mimi Webb and Becky Hill seem possible on the line up think it will be potentially one of the stations most gender balanced. George Ezra maybe. Think will have some good first time players

Ed Sheeran performing on Saturday of Big Weekend. 

They are simulcasting the announcement on BBC Coventry and Warwickshire, I believe this is the first time they’ve simulcast on the relevant local station? Phil Upton, the DJ on CWR, faded out the song and they’ve went back to their normal show

Ed Sheeran is arguably one of the biggest acts of the last year, whether people like him or not, so it's good they've managed to get him on the bill. Looking forward to seeing what the specialist lineup is, especially given some criticism of the gender balance on the main stage.

So seems like Ed is the big Artist opener it would be good considering there hasn’t been a big weekend since 2019 to have a first time opener and maybe previous performer but never headlined the festival. I do think a band like Foals to headline over Calvin Harris headlining the Saturday and at least having that mix of having one or two female/nonbinary names.

Wonder if the Radio 1 Academy thing will return?

Another Big Weekend announcement today. Can't work out if staggering it out works, think outsiders to the station are less likely to follow two days of announcements than regular listeners. I assume that's who they want on board.

    • 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.
