Last year Chris Moyles came live from Leeds Castle on the 15th February 2008 with Scouting For Girls. Bearing in mind it's the 14th February today should we not be due an announcement about where this year's Big Weekend will be?

Maybe they're doing it later in the year this time?

Thank you for stating the obvious ;)

Safe to say an announcement is imminent though. Amused by this from Wikipedia:

The 2009 event will be held in Milton Keynes at Campbell Park. Although the line-up isn't confirmed until April, the events team have currently secured MGMT, Lily Allen, The Fray, Glasvegas, The Wombats and The Script whilst Pendulum will return after their triumph in 2008. Keane will headline the main stage on Saturday whilst the organisers are working on getting Britney Spears or Take That to headline the stage on Sunday.

I think they might leave it until after Comic Relief this year. They wouldn't want to take Chris' glory away from him now, would they?

Perhaps it'll be Jo Whiley doing the announcement this year. I think bosses are keen to give her as many exclusives as possible on her return. In fact "listen to Radio 1 with Jo on Monday for a big announcement" still can't be ruled out.

Yeah, I think It'll be announced by Jo, just come back from being away, announcement would be good on her first show. :)

They'll either leave it a bit later after Kilimanjaro for Moyles to announce like Computer said or they'll get Jo to do it. I can't see anyone else announcing it really. I don't think Edith or Scott will announce it.

Right Zane Lowe is playing Norwich UEA on Friday 15th May. That either means he's a busy man and will travel to the Big Weekend on the Saturday or the Big Weekend will be 8/9th May.

Either that or it's a warm up gig and the weekend could be in Norwich?

I think 8th and 9th in Swindon is the strongest probability. The media there wouldn't report it unless they had strong inklings.

But I'm still intrigued why they've announced Zane Lowe is playing the UEA so early on via flyers, not announced a price, or advertised it on the website. It could very possibly be linked to the Big Weekend.

      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.

      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.
