Radio 1 are staging a UK tour featuring its specialist show presenters in a bid to convince us all of their commitment to promoting new music. Pete Tong, Gilles Peterson and Tim Westwood are among those expected to appear on the In New Music We Trust tour which will kick off on 29 Oct. Zane Lowe is likely to get his our mini-tour shortly after.
Announcing the tour plans Radio 1's head of specialist and speech, Ian Parkinson, told reporters: "We wanted to find a way of getting our new shows out on the road and a DJ tour with Zane and his colleagues seemed like the best idea. It also gives our listeners a chance to meet the DJs and to get a feel for what the shows are about."
