Radio 1 has announced details of its live music line up for 2007. Among the highlights are the return of the Big Weekend event in May, the return of the Six Weeks Of Summer programme which will see the station broadcast from various holiday destinations, plus another series of Radio 1 Presents gigs which will include exclusive gigs from Kaiser Chiefs and My Chemical Romance. There will also be a new music event in November especially aimed at the under 18s.
Plus, of course, Radio 1 will have presence at various music festivals, including Glastonbury, Leeds, Reading, T In The Park and Download in the UK, plus Russia's Fortdance festival, Iceland's Airwaves, Spain's Sonar and the Miami Music Conference. They will also be involved in the second year of the BBC Electric Proms, which are planned for the Autumn.
Here's what Radio One Live Music Editor Jason Carter has to say: "This year is shaping up to be amazing. We're going to focus on the events that we've built ourselves and take them to the next level and at the same time continue to broadcast all of the best live music from the UK and internationally".
