If I was going to truly demonstrate my “continued commitment to new music” do you know what I’d do? I’d go to Hull, that’s what. And it seems great minds thing alike, because Radio 1 and 1Xtra have announced they will be broadcasting live from the Yorkshire city for four days later this month, from 26-29 Jan.

Zane Lowe, Nick Grimshaw, Annie Mac, Pete Tong and Trevor Nelson will all venture North for the festivities, which will come from various venues in the city, with new and newish talent set to play. Nick Grimshaw will also be joined by special guests from the worlds of “cabaret and comedy” for his stint on 26 Jan, so that’s something for those Hullonians to look forward to. I think tickets will be dished out for free via on-air giveaways between now on 26 Jan.

And here’s Radio 1’s events man Neil Wyatt saying things: “Radio 1 will be kicking off a huge year of live music in style live from Hull, with some of the hottest new artists around joining the Radio 1 DJ family as we take over the city. We’re looking forward to celebrating the city’s thriving new music scene with a series of special free events from the city’s best bars, clubs and venues – it’s going to be big!”
