I'll be there. It'll be stupid of me not to, I live less than a mile away from the Reading Venue.

The Killers wer confirmed on Radio 1 this morning.

I live near the site too, but haven't been to the festival for years.

It's not just the cost, it usually sells out the moment the tickets go on sale. :(

UM is a nice place

It's a good line up (except for Slipknot, urgh, didn't know they still existed) but as I desperately need to save my money for my year abroad next year then it's unlikely I'll be trying for tickets. Good luck to everyone who is though.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

Why are you going then?

Because there's about a million other bands playing. I don't have to go to see The Killers, I'll be at Manic Street Preachers. I think Rage Against The Machine are rubbish live but I aren't seeing them.

I would just like to say that I am not allowed to go (too far) BUT I'm so jealous of anyone that is going as the ones above are some of my favourite bands. Have fun people. x

Charli's in love with the new Panic At The Disco album

I was quite amused a few friends hadn't got tickets. They did, at a later date, but I'm glad they didn't get a stroke of luck on the night. I'm such a bitch.

I notice they're already trailing ahead for the bank holiday weekend. That's Radio 1 for you...

Did someone actually just have something bad to say about the Killers Live? They made my 2007 TITP. If i had the money id be there.

Yeah, me. I did see them before they were big, though.

The only bands there that I haven't seen before and want to see at The Killers and Feeder, so I'm not going to bother. I've already forked out £50 to see Radiohead this summer and I'd rather save my money and see what else comes along.

I think the line-up is great! It took me a few hours to get the tickets but it doesn't matter as long as I've got them ;) Uh so expensive though. Better be worth it :D

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
