Has Radio1 given up on Glastonbury?

[norainplease]

I've been thinking the same for a while but the hassle and cost of getting my stereo changed or upgraded has always put me off.

I've been toying with the idea of buying one of these:

Anyone know if they're any good?

Lamacq just said they'd be announcing 6music's Glasto schedule on Wednesday.

thank god radio 1 won't be covering it...

it'd just be a weekend of jo whiley calling spingsteen an "amazing new artist"

[Arronbury]

The reverse side of the ticket has a Radio 1 logo and no mention of 6.

Also BBC 2 only?

[dvjj]

I don't really worry about who presents it or what radio it will be on...Because I will be there!! thats what matters!!!

6music is the official BBC Glastonbury station this year. Thank goodness...

[FunkyDenz]

Radio 1 brings listeners festival highlights with Zane Lowe, Jo Whiley and Annie Mac broadcasting special editions of their regular shows live from site, plus BBC Switch will take a look at what's going on for younger audiences the festival with Annie Mac and Nick Grimshaw on Sunday evening. Greg James will be experiencing his first Glastonbury.

[mario man]

Adam & Joe let it slip last week that they were going to be at Glastonbury, altho apparently they were supposed to keep it quieter until nearer the time.

Has Glastonbury given up on Radio One? Zane plays good music but has no discernable music taste and needs a slap or some extra drowsy hay fever medicine. Some of the other evening shows are good, daytime is a waste of time but radio 6 is good all day with no play lists and informed DJs. Just listened to Steve Lamacq and it was like listening to my mp3 player on shuffle.

I've got one, cost me £50 last year if I remember, but its the best £50 I've spent for sometime. There are quite a few wires hanging about, one for aerial and one into lighter socket, but apart from that I've no other complaints. The digital coverage for me is 99% perfect on my journey to work from Richmond in SW London to Arnos Grove in N London, apart from one small pocket of silence in Richmond Park!

6Music is the main reason I got it in the first place. Shaun Keaveny in the mornings is a legend! However I agree with the earlier comments about George Lamb

Agreed on Zane, he just seems to love everything and tells everybody on his show that their new album is his favourite new album or something, he just comes accross as being very fake plus he speaks like a fool

[krisskross]

DJs like Mary Ann Hobbs

[Zacko]

Nice to see that 6music is gonna have coverage constantly throughout the weekend should be good to catch up on after the fests finished.

Looks like Sky+ and iPlayer will be getting a mashing when I get home aswell

Anyone know what kinda viewing figures the Glastonbury broadcasts normally get? Always wondered

lets Blazing Squad...flip reverse it!!!

(kinda makes more sence)

GLASTONBURY HAS GIVEN UP ON R1!

[TaylorT]

It would seem Radio 1 are still pretty much at Glasto. I heard Zane Lowe say he`s doing his show live from the introducing stage on the Thursday with Mike Skinner, Mr Hudson and Jamie T. I also heard him say Annie Mac is doing her mash up show live with guests on the Friday aswell so that should be good if she`s got some decent guests but Annie Mac seriously does my head in these days.

[Conrax]

I know what advert your talking about on Radio 1 but i dont think they have they are already talking about Glastonbury alot.
