Think it will either be in Wales or the south coast of England. Bradford in 2025.

Unless its Wrexham in the North of Wales cant imagine it being anywhere near the south til 2030. I think it will be an England city as guessed last year my role over of jubilee/coronation new cities joins my suspects for 2024 but for 2025 to 2026 think will be back on the North of Ireland it would be nice as its been since 2013 since they’ve been to Ireland for Radio 1’s big weekend and would be good to have it near Dean and Nat’s home towns but wonder if location wise if it may come from in few years more cost effective locations with reduced travel costs. I think the south or central England for such reasons would be potential safe choice.

If it was nearer London I imagine the guests will be pretty top. 

Wonder who’s who of the artists being selected for this years big weekend I think it would be a good pick and potentially the right year too have Dua Lipa headlining Declan McKenna, Last Dinner Party , CMAT, RAYE, Nothing But Thieves I’ll expect on thee line-up

Does Olivia Rodrigo have a gap in her schedule for May? Or am I misremembering. Still mad that artists like her (and I expect dua lipa) are gonna be pulling up to Luton…

Suspect Tom Grennan will also end up there as he is from bedfordshire.

Same weekend as Slam Dunk which is down the road if Big Weekend is in Luton.

Possibly the Sunday, she's in Amsterdam on Friday and Saturday. Not miles away, I suppose.

It feels odd that Glastonbury has made their headliner announcement and big name performers on the stages that are broadcasted across BBC before big weekend when big weekend is held a month before. Interesting they have gone for a big weekend vibe almost with with Dua Lipa, SZA, Olivia Dean, Little Simz and Burna Boy playing the pyramid and Disclosure, The Last Dinner Party and Nothing But Thieves on the other stage.

Yeah my first thought was wow, what a Big Weekend line up.  Even Shania had a lot of airplay on R1 recently with that Anne Marie song.  Overall seems like it's "missing something".  All fine artists (well I'm not too keen on Dua nor Coldplay but tons of people are) just nobody EXCITING.

I don’t mind Coldplay used to be my favourite band few years back still got couple of their albums on vinyl considering this will be their fifth time playing its hard to find this as an exciting booking for them. I know papers and other different music sources were rumouring that Madonna and Stevie Wonder was top choices to play and if they were booked they would be that that something. I get that vibe find the stuff on the Park Stage, Westholts and the Woodsies (old John Peel tent) have some of the best acts.

Do share that feeling.

Same time as most years for the Glastonbury lineup.

Similar balance of radio 1 artists to previous years, too.

So Friday's line-up comes out on Monday. Going to be really interesting to see how that evolves from the dance day to a mainstream day. 

Having seen pictures of Raye last night it'd be a scoop to get her performing.

It will be interesting to see what they do with the Friday line-up think maybe someone like Fred Again.would be a good choice. Raye having not been booked for Glastonbury this year would be a good book post BRITs to boost listening figures and IPlayer/TV ratings.

I still think Friday maybe dance heavy as since they are set to launch Radio 1 Dance on DAB+ radio it shows how mainstream and popular the genre is.

I’m going to take a stab at the headliners (based on who I think R1 have the budget for and who they’ve played lots in the past few months) 

Friday: Fred Again..

Saturday: Usher

Sunday: RAYE

All 3 of these also have touring gaps where they’d be able to play big weekend.

Won't be Fred Again. He's said he's only doing Reading and Leeds in UK this year 

Calvin is a probable because of Vick.

Raye and Dua Lipa are both high on list I imagine. Although with DL headlining Glasto maybe Beyonce

Friday is from 4pm to 11pm.

Saturday is from 12pm to 10pm.

Although I imagine they will have some pretty big hitters for Friday to encourage people to choose the shorter day instead of the longer one. It’ll probably be a dance act as headliner, so maybe Calvin Harris as suggested above, or perhaps Chase & Status.

      Scott v Matt and Mollie

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      I quite quickly gave up on Scott’s show on R2 as I realised it wasn’t my kind of vibe. I do listen to the Scott Mills weekly to catch up, because I still think Scott is great, but there is just something missing (for example, he played out some clips recently of the old sleep recording app from the R1 days, and didn’t play ‘go and open the window Garry’ - or if he did, it didn’t make it to the podcast.) I don’t see them changing it now or making it any ‘younger’ than it is.   Matt & Mollie in the afternoon is something that I’m really looking forward to. They are such an interesting and funny listen. It has given me a different dilemma though, as 1pm has been the perfect time for me to catch up on the Capital breakfast show and takes me perfectly to the end of my working day, so now I’ll probably have to forego listening to that and stick with R1 for Matt & Mollie. These shows need podcasts because it’s already giving me fomo.

      Even for the older Radio 1 listeners (of which there are still quite a few) Scott’s show doesn’t feel quite right.  (That’s nothing on Scott who sounds good but more the station sound and content). Since moving to Capital Breakfast I haven’t been listening to much Radio 1.  I always found the shows outside of Breakfast and Drive more wallpaper due to my working day and the show content of RMC and Dean and Vicky so Capital is just background noise to me after enjoying Breakfast.

      I love Scott but if you're a 20 or 30 something that enjoyed his last few years of Radio 1 the Radio 2 show just doesn't translate. Stars from Neighbours or 90s singers just aren't my cup of tea and I can't get enthused about some has been at Radio 2 in the Park or some country music countdown.  Until that changes I will probably more likely listen to Matt and Mollie.  The Steve Wright fans think Radio 2 has turned into Radio 1 but it has a long way to go to win over the older R1 audience.

      Radio 2 brought in Scott to bring the afternoon audience age down, but I feel with Matt and Mollie replacing Dean and Vicky they're going to be competing for a similar audience. Will Scott's show evolve to bring in more listeners or do you think they will be comfortable with the audience they currently have?

      Yes I'm the same with 6Music. Huw Stephens offers something different.

      They are an answer. I do listen to 6 Music quite a bit but kind of feel like it isn’t for me unlike the New Music Fix Daily, Huw Stephens who I’d happily listen to. Think it’s a generational thing and music preference. But it’s like how 1 Xtra cut down Snoochie Shy’s nightly show to just Monday and with Wednesday and Thursday with just playlist programme. I just miss the days of having more choice of that time of night.

      Practically speaking, Riley & Coe on 6Music is the answer to that problem - but I get your overall point.

      Yes and thats the huge selling point after 6pm as always has been in the evening. As when I started listening to radio 1 about eleven twelve years ago its the station that got me into music new and familiar artists and bands. I think the issue with a lot of the new music shows being crammed in length of the shows and not all is live there’s less chance for a presenter to tell you about the band or artist or have the impression of chatting to the listener by reading out texts and emails or including voice notes. I’m really enjoying Jack Saunders’ new music show as thats how you do a show like that on Radio 1 good mix of genres but from 10pm onwards you don’t have the presenter chatting to the listener or that live feel as sometimes you need at that time.

      Given one of yesterday’s ‘bangers’ was Noah Kahan’s Stick Season, I doubt it.

      How has it been working early mornings as a parent, Chris? Is it harder to juggle than the 1-4 slot?

      I still think Dua Lipa could make the line-up. She's in the Live Lounge soon. Would be a scoop if they had two of the key Glastonbury performers.

      Is the three bangers after nine idea meant to compete with Ten Minute Takeover?

      But if Radio 1's big selling point is new music it's strange. Clara fell a bit flat in comparison to her predecessors because she wasn't shaped in the same way as Annie or Zane.
