I got an email from Stereophonics that says "Just to let you know that Stereophonics will be taking over BBC Radio 1 on Monday 7th May between 1pm-2pm..."

So I'm guessing as part of the Big Weekend takeover, different artists who are playing at the Big Weekend will be have their own 'slot'? I was wondering what they'd be doing for 6 hours!

If you're wondering what that fat show that is taking up Monday's output is all about, it's the Big Weekend artists taking control of Radio 1 for the day. No presenter or co-host. Just the artist.

1000-1200 Kaiser Chiefs

1200-1300 Mika

1300-1400 Stereophonics

1400-1500 Beth from The Gossip

1500-1600 Natasha Bedingfield

The Kaiser Chiefs have been quite good so far, turned it on just for background noise, but the first thing I heard was "let's close our ears, we're playing Natasha Bedingfield now".

I was concerned when he started the show with the Scissor Sisters, and kids started cheering.

If The Archers went gay, and appealed to under 25s, this would be the result of it. Mika on Radio 1.

Didn't bother waking up for F & R. Thought the Kaisers were really amusing. Ricky has the Noel G acid sense of humour.

Mika was good, toned down weird accent a bit.

Happy about Coxie for rest of week. Missed her at the weekend. Fearne is no replacement, sorry. She has a face, voice and personality for telly.

Stereophonics doing v well so far. Marvin Gaye! Yes!

No love for the Big Weekend Takeover from The Guardian today -

The Kaiser Chiefs were slated as "shambolic, complete with errors" and Mika took "the notion of self-promotion rather too far" with his "annoying entourage".

They don't mention any of the other artists, one would presume they switched off. To be fair, so did I.

i had the station on and off yesterday, and everytime we tuned in all i heard was one big weekend. and fearne and whoever were on about burnt toast in the morning.

we switched to radio 2 but that was off it's normal schedule so it was a bit crap, so we had an old judge jules tape on recorded in 2005. worked.

on the grid.

    • Nikita Kanda is covering the weekend mid afternoon slot a few times over the next few weeks, as is Ore.
    • No sign of James Cusack at Big Weekend. Ore Olukoga and Nikita Kanda were there. Will they be part of the weekend line-up over summer? Even Joel Mitchell and Tinea Taylor made it. 
    • I don't know about that but somebody's messed up with the dates on the lanyards this year, they're all the wrong date!
    • Is big weekend the only place to get long boi merch? It's sold out! I'd love to have got my hands on some. 
    • Considering the price of some festival event for a small portions can be pricey but it isn’t too bad that could get it with chips and other roast dinner bits. I think when you are billed as a touring high profile DJ there’s always a risk of playing out familiar tracks from other artists in the mix. Especially on a line-up with Chase and Status and Rudimental who will be playing pretty much all tracks written, produced and released as their DJing names.   
    • Matt & Mollie I believe (and on the radio occassional studio bits from Jack Saunders, Sam & Danni and Maia Beth).
    • Obvs - Scott 2-4 and Trevor Nelson are also in 82A
    • Who presented Party Anthems on stage?
    • Lots of adverts for Matt and Mollie around the place, alongside the rest of the weekday lineup, but no mention of Dean and/or Vicky. Although I notice those two are doing the photobooth today, as is Danny Beard…
    • Yesterday was excellent pretty much all day. You can tell a lot of work has gone into the festival and the set up was really good. The ground is fine for anyone worried, I wore old trainers and they’re still fine today.    Merchandise is available for some high prices. If you’re going for Longboi merch get it early as they sold out within the first couple of hours.    The photo booth is also good and we met Vick, Katie and Jamie for a few seconds and got a photo. If you’re doing this get there 15-20 minutes before the advertised time as they’re only 30 minute slots. It’s right next to the main stage so you can see everything going on there from the queue anyway. Most of the acts we saw were excellent. Becky Hill and Ella Henderson were brilliant live. Rudimental and Chase and Status were absolutely incredible. Nathan Dawe wasn’t great, played 3 of his own songs then dodgy remixes of Marvin Gaye, Dolly Parton etc. Went to Dimension halfway through which was must better. Saw 15-20 minutes of Eric Prydz which wasn’t really my thing but his staging was excellent.  The DJ sets in between everything were pretty good, especially Matt and Mollie and Charlie Hedges. Sam and Danni were a welcome change as they played indie anthems for a while although I think they may have just been the pre recorded anthems they usually play on weekends (still better than Nathan Dawe). Food was good, but pricey - £15 for my main meal of roast pork, stuffing, chips and Yorkshire pudding. I was surprised they were selling multipacks of Madri and bottles of wine, especially the latter as people were walking around swigging from glass bottles in the middle of the crowd then dumping them on the floor… the rubbish was a mess at the end of the night. Probably one of the best live music events I’ve ever been to, a real credit to the station. 
    • While there were some technical issues (tracks temporarily cutting out, mics not working at first for radio listeners, 'studio team' sometimes jumping in at quite random intervals) Party Anthems on stage seemed to work well and I sort of wonder why they haven't done it before. I guess it depends on when gates open but if gates open around 1/2pm then no excuse not to do it- it's a DJ set which they have loads of across the weekend and acts as a warm-up so the crowd are hot for the first main act.
    • They mentioned on air that it's before Joel Corry's set.
    • When is the set for Greg and Tom? I’m having trouble getting on to Insta and Google is not helping.
