<P>Although the full announcement isn't expected until Jo's show on Monday, it's been leaked that Moor Park, Preston will be the venue for Radio 1's Big Weekend this year. The news came out in a hiccup in the online department of Preston's <a href="http://www.lep.co.uk/ViewArticle.aspx?ArticleID=2074702&SectionID=73">local newspaper here</a>.

The event will take place on the 19th and 20th of May, and has a 30,000 people capacity - the biggest free music festival in Europe.

This year there will be a third stage, making it bigger than ever, and will kick start the festival season. Last year's line-up included Snow Patrol, Keane, Pink, The Streets, Editors, Muse, Razorlight, Orson, Gnarls Barkley, Primal Scream, Sugababes, The Ordinary Boys and The Kooks.

Jason Carter, editor of live music and events, said: “Radio 1 is delighted to announce Preston as our host city for our seventh Big Weekend.

“The event has grown from strength to strength over the past few years, with massive line-ups with some of the biggest artists in the UK and from around the world performing. Radio 1 will be de-camping for this weekend with all of our DJs to Moor Park.”

Further information will be announced in April, including details of how to register for tickets.
