Yeah poor Annie Mac! If I was lucky enough to get tickets I'd want to see Annie Mac but would feel the need to go and see Madonna too just because It's Madonna.

Agreed. Madonna isn't quite my taste but it's a once in a lifetime opportunity and you could see Annie Mac or the Editors any day. As Madonna will probably be last one you would have thought they'd get everyone to congregate together for her set.

Apparently organisers have planned for Madonna to play at the same time as Editors and Annie Mac. I would imagine most will want to see Madonna, despite what their tastes are.

No they won't. If I was there I'd watch Editors.

It's never a problem at any other festival when there's a headline act. Other stages get more than enough people there. Not everyone will want to see Madonna.

I'd love to see Editors but I think I'd feel obliged to see Madonna. I just feel that I will have plenty of opportunities to see Editors (e.g. Reading). It's much more difficult to be able to see Madonna at a concert, and even though I'm not a big fan, she is the queen of pop.

We have had this arguement on the reading facebook group about rage against the machine and bands on at the same time.

There are a lot of people saying its a once in a lifetime chance, but regardless a lot of people are making the point that if they dont listen to them normally they would rather go and see something they like and normally listen to. End of the day not everyone is going to like Madonna, so it will be nice to have a bit of other choice

Unfortunately it takes quite a bit of being manhandled and shoved about by the other members of the crowd to secure a good view at a festival - so in my experience this isn't usually possible. Tis a shame though.

'To disagree with three-fourths of the British public is one of the first requisites of sanity'.

jo said madonna in new york 6 songs 35 minutes,hope she does more than that on saturday

Well the BBC TV show is only going to be 45 minutes, I personally can't see her doing more than that. There's a lot of bands to get through.

      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?

      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.

      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.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By AndyK77 · Posted

      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.
