Running Monday-Friday from 1-29 September and kicking off with a Foo Fighters performance in their own LA studio, Radio 1’s Live Lounge Month will showcase a wide range of musical genres supported by Radio 1, from emerging artists to big acts, and is part of the station’s continued commitment to bringing the best new and live music to young audiences.

Each Friday during September there will be a Live Lounge Special when Foo Fighters, Pink, Miley Cyrus and Jay-Z will all perform extended Live Lounges.

On 29 September, the final day of Radio 1’s Live Lounge Month, there will be an evening concert in front of a live studio audience, with a special guest, to round off a huge month of unique appearances.

Clara Amfo will host each Live Lounge during her weekday Radio 1 show 10am-1pm, whilst the special evening concert will be broadcast live on Radio 1 on Friday evening.

Videos from Radio 1’s Live Lounge month will be available to watch on Radio 1’s BBC iPlayer channel.
