Next Sunday's Surgery (3rd May '09) will be one of these "open surgeries" which Aled face seems to love!! However, there's news of a different kind!!!! Boom.. boom... boom!

Actual Bands will be in the Surgery Tent at this year's Big Weekend! They will be doing Question & Answer sessions!! I don't know if this will be answering questions about their own lives, or giving answers to listener problems?!

Among the bands invited to the Tent are..... Fightstar! Woo!

Right. For people going to the Big Weekend, the Surgery Tent is to be found in the corner to the left of the main stage, next to the 'Switch' tent.

Lots of different things will be happening, including head massages and yoga!!

Among the stars who will visit the tent will be Alesha Dixon.

R1 DJ's, including Sara Cox, Nihal and Westwood will be doing Q&A sessions, so if you would like to know, for example, how they coped with exam stresses in their time, etc., etc., well - now's your chance to ask!!!
