UEF Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 http://www.bbc.co.uk/events/e82wrz/performances Lacking the one "big hitter" I was expecting... my heart sank when they announced Bruno Mars as the final headliner. Still, flights and hotel are booked now so there's not much I can do about that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose-Colored Boy Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 I still can't get my head around the logic of Paramore subbing to Bruno Mars. My only guess is that Bruno Mars' management insisted that if their act was going to appear it'd have to be in a headline slot, and Paramore's did not.

Stuart1000 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 I really wish they'd go back to the One Big Sunday style of events. When the Big Weekend rolls around now, all you get is constant play of the artists performing and talk about the town it's going to be in. If you're not going to the event or don't live in that part of the country, it gets pretty monotonous and doesn't make for great listening. If the One Big Sunday tour was to return, it could involve the entire country. It would get people a lot more involved with Radio 1 again and focus their activities across the country, as opposed to just one small town. Of course, Scotland are due a Radio 1 event of some sort soon. We haven't had anything since the Big Weekend in 2006 (unless you count the week that Scott Mills and Nick Grimshaw have come to the Fringe over the last couple of years, but that isn't really a Radio 1 event as such, more just part of the BBC's Fringe output as a whole).

Rose-Colored Boy Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 The East of England have never had a Big Weekend of any sort though, so they'll get something first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniel.k Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hope the east coast gets something soon, because its where ill be for the next few years. Most of the line up are at other fests yeah, but Dizzee Rascal was meant to be at KISS beach and that got cancelled so im holding out for him at V. The Line up isnt that bad really, alot of dance and pop music just what Radio 1 is mainly now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart1000 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Maybe even Leeds, that whole area of the country has been neglected come to think of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I think if it were to go to Leeds, it would have done so while Chris Moyles was on air. Can't see it happening now. Radio 1 and Leeds just screams Chris Moyles to me. And I think they're wanting to erase him from memory at the minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesecretingredientiscrime Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I hope/assume you're joking?!! Haha Greater London has had two since the Midlands, Scotland, or the North East got anything! And as I said earlier, Eastern England has never had one at all.

Amy Lawn Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Last year's line-up was pretty much the perfect pop music festival, even I wouldn't have minded going to that. This year's looks dull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 There is logic behind it. To many Radio 1 listeners, Leeds was synonymous with Chris Moyles. It currently seems like they're trying to erase him from the station's memory. He's never mentioned or referenced on air, when #teammoyles trended on Twitter instead of #teamgrimmy they dropped the entire #teamgrimmy campaign, his pages are no longer linked on the Radio 1 website. For them to hold a Radio 1 event in Leeds so soon after his departure will just seem odd. If they were going to do it, they would have done when he was the biggest DJ on the station. Besides, the original premise of the One Big Sunday events (and then Big Weekends) were to take big stars to areas of the country that don't have an arena or don't have a music festival. Leeds currently hosts one of the biggest musical festivals in the country (of which Radio 1 sponsor a stage and have wide coverage of) so it most likely won't happen. To much the same, Glasgow is unlikely for 2014 too (unless they tie it into the Commonwealth Games). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UEF Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) Friday and Sunday tickets released this morning, Saturday tickets were dispatched today. I'll be honest - I'm struggling to get into the idea of this. But then I thought the same about Hackney and ended up having a laugh of it.

Rose-Colored Boy Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Haven't seen much of it so far but was impressed by Maverick Sabre. Rudimental sound good from the replays on the radio this morning. Rita Ora sounded cool last night too - threw in a random cover of No Doubt at one point. Calvin and Dizzee were letdowns for me. Dizzee was largely saved by the random appearance by Robbie, otherwise he kinda passed me by. What about Devon/Cornwall. The closest it's ever got to us is Swindon, which is a good 2 and a half hours drive/160 miles away. There's plenty of places they could hold a massive event down here, but we never get a look in. How have Londonderry managed to get it twice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rose-Colored Boy Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Greater London isn't it? Even if it isn't officialy London it's in that area, still probably within three tube journeys of Hackney, still ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
