From the homepage:

Radio 1 has announced their plans for live events this year and it includes Radio 1’s Big Weekend making a return in May. This year it will include a third stage, continuing it’s success as the biggest free-ticket event in Europe.

The station will travel the UK and abroad in the summer as part of Radio 1’s six weeks of summer, and there are plans for an under-18s event in London in November.

Following on from Radio 1 Presents… The Kaiser Chiefs, there’ll be a special announcement from My Chemical Romance at the end of April.

There'll also be live coverage from Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds Festival, T In The Park, the BBC Electric Proms, and broadcasts from the Download rock and metal festival, Russian dance festival Fortdance, Icelandic festival Airwaves, Sonar and the Miami Music Conference.

Maybe the people from Dundee & the surrounding areas will get tickets for the Big Weekend this year since it won't be in Dundee!!! Not that we were bitter at all!!! lol

I have to say that I got tickets :) but randomly I got then from my flat in Glasgow, rather than from my parents' in Fife...

People who work at my Head Office in Glasgow got tickets. they are the only people I know of that got them!

We heard unofficially that Dundee City Council made a deal with Radio 1 that 80% of the tickets were to go to people outwith Dundee and the surrounding areas to encourage people to come into the city!!!

Still maybe I'll get tickets this year for somewhere else in the country!

You ever been to Big in Falkirk? I didn't realise it was free! I've never been but will look into it this year I think! :doubt:

      Radio 2 Schedule Changes

      I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right!

      Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

      Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.

      If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.

      The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!

      What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
