We usually have some kind of speculative thread about where it will be - so here we go.

I reckon somewhere in the West country - possibly Bristol.

You could be right actually, they've done Scotland, up north and even Kent, west would seem to be the next logical step. Could be Wales.

Abbawistwiff? Or indeed the Welsh spelling, Aberystwyth *






* I don't actually think this is likely however you spell it.

Maybe the secret location for tomorrow is Aled's parents' house?

Is that appostrophe in the right place? I always get confused with plurals. Maybe it's not even supposed to have one, I don't know.

And why am I typing everything I'm thinking?

I think I'll watch Harry Hill now.

I was guessing somewhere in Wales but if Snow Patrol are on then I'm going with DannyBoy - I think it's Belfast.

I could pick up on some other things, but I find 'alot' particularly annoying.

A few hours later however, the story has been deleted. Guessing t'BBC got onto them about it....

When did they say it on the show? I never heard it. I was listening from 6.30, i must have zoned out or something...

I'm not sure, I don;t even know if it was a trail or part of the chat - but they definitely said something about Snow Patrol.

I have no idea where it will be this year.

What I'm not looking forward to is the inevitable flurry of 'RADIO 1'S BIG WEEKEND COMING THIS MAY' adverts they play after every three songs....

I wonder if they will be voiced by annoying locals again who go on to get voiceover jobs at Radio 1 so they can annoy us all year round like last year!

All I know is that they're flying to wherever they're going. When Chris joked "are we getting a train up, Rachel?" Aled piped in with "a plane" and he sounded serious, whereas Chris then turned it into a joke about a work-out.

Ar*eholes are now editing Wikipedia......

Somebody had added this at the bottom of everything:

Dave Vitti let slip that the weekend would be held in Swindon on the show broadcast on the 16th, a slip that went unnoticed by the rest of the team. The show can be found on BBC iplayer.


Utter bullsh*t...He dident say a word..I've edited the article back to something generic now as it was annoying me. But no doubt as i type this someone else has changed it.

Where did the Swindon rumour come from? Did Dave even say it?

No, he dident say a word. It came from papers talking about it and apparently the Swindon police talking about it.

The big weekend article on Wikipedia was also edited by someone within the BBC to take out swindon. I dont think that meens anything but other people on other forums seem to believe so.....
