He didn’t seem to say when though - sounds like after the tickets so on sale which doesn’t make much sense.

they’ve done that in the past before, and of course Glastonbury never releases the lineup until after the tickets have gone on sale

Sunday has made the lineup more equal in terms of gender which is great

Ed Sheeran will be Saturday's big draw but I think Sundays line up on the main stage is a better mix of music tastes. I think most people will just be happy to be at a festival again though!

Incidentally, Lorde was one of my favourites over the years when she came to Hull.

Even if with the case of no covid regulations whether it will be bit more open air in the tent and less covered. Do think Foals would’ve worked better on the Main stage I’d argue they are at headlining main stage point in career

Always intrigued to see what the specialist music tent gets called each year. It's still the In New Music We Trust tent to me ?

Seems to be the Future Sounds tent this year. It was "The 1 for New Music" in 2019 and "the other stage" in 2018 and "where it begins" in 2017. Slight identity crisis!

Seems Radio 1 are playing it safe with British acts this year.

think that’s fair comment on the safeness of the homegrown choices but its the case I imagine given the volatility of the covid rules and still in a global pandemic think the music and events teams want to have fair share of acts that if a new variant was to happen and saw travel restrictions

Think its credit of the talent on the UK music scene that we have a festival with such commitment to strong music talent and with the coronavirus pandemic it maybe some of the acts first festivals. I’m pleased of how the music and events team got the lineup without many crossovers with Glasto

I used to like it when they played musical mashups of bits of all the songs from performing artists as part of the announcements. Wasn’t expecting Lorre as the headliner but excellent choice

They did send out links to special Happy Hour mixes to those going. Seems new to this year. Not the same, but...

Big Weekend is going to be fun for the DJs. It must be a while since they've been able to mix without restrictions. And it'll be very different to 2019 when you had the likes of Annie Mac, Grimmy, Phil Taggart, Maya Jama and Dev.

Including Huw Stephens. 

Considering that theres future soul, chillest show, future dance it wouldve been good if they announced that there would be 1 soul spotlight artist on Future Sounds stage giving Victoria Jane’s show bit of content a few piano session and maybe run a Piano Session Introducing event on BBC Introducing stages across festivals like R&L, R1BW, GLAST as cross BBC INTRO + RELAX Promo.

Think it will be good to hear presenter like Jack Saunders presenting from Big Weekend as for an event like that he’s got the needed energy and enthusiasm that will carry it with doing interviews and such. Maybe will hope to hear him or even see him doing Glasto coverage later this summer with Clara Amfo.

Think presenter like Greg James will be excited to get back out there as he works on the listener interaction and can tell likes being involved in events where he can chat with listeners.

Jordan at the station for 6 years. Will be the first time with such household recognition as will be more name and face recognised from TV too

I do wonder who’ll they’ll have hosting. I’d be very hyped to see Jordan/ Vick or Greg.

This about TV or Radio could see chances of Clara Amfo and Jack Saunders being involved

      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?

      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.

      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.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By AndyK77 · Posted

      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.
