They’ll play the future sounds stage tomorrow at 11.45am

Hopefully no delays at the gates then ?

1975 seemed to storm off with attitude. Also called for Scottish Independence ?

I'm not really as into Big Weekend this year as previous years, but it is great radio when they all get together on the air. I think I've heard practically all the DJs on the air between last night and today.

The only notable absence from what I can tell is Adele Roberts.

She did a brill DJ set last year.

Thirty seconds to Mars finally made it - think the promise of being live today may have backfired. A bit sweary ?

I still would love to see more of the presenters on the socials. They seem to be having so much fun.

Wet Leg really packed out the Future Sounds tent last year. Not surprised they're on the main stage this year. 

I find it funny Rudimental are still flavour of the month at Radio 1

Tbf, their latest song is quite high in the charts, and D&B seems to be a sound that is returning to the mainstream lately.

Feel like they need to do another Access All Areas style week. The banter has been so good.

Ashnikko covering Sk8er Boi makes me feel old! Good to see Raye drawing a big crowd up against Niall Horan.

I think this is the first year the 'other stage' has been outside and not in a tent. Usually a good spot to go if it's raining, so a bit of a gamble with this weekend's weather!

Has there been some shape or form of large weekend or something recently? Just thought I'd ask around.

Radio 1 Roadshow in Great Yarmouth, I think!!!1

Poor Lewis Capaldi, coughing quite a lot during the last few songs. Guessing that's a tourettes thing? Although he was seriously ill earlier this year.

If I had feedback for the organisers I'd keep the ticket resale open later next year. So many scammers because it closed a week before the event as people sold them on through Facebook, Gumtree, etc.

I find its interesting venue change to go from tent to stage. I assume that tent might’ve helped enclosed the sound from other areas. But seems to put support to the ‘Future Sound’ stage which interesting since the changes of when the ‘Future Sounds’ brand of programmes were introduced think theres been more synergy and blended playlist of the stuff you hear on night time to the daytime playlist. Given the fact that Raye has written many of pop songs and has been building up a strong R&B/Dance back catalogue now number 1 artist rightly has earned a good turnout.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?

      There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first.

      It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?

      Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also

      For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By Rob86 · Posted

      I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg.

      The eighth floor

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!

      How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it?

      By Bluestraw · Posted

      I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!

      A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.

      Rylan and Scott

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.
