Twin B, Co-presenter of the Radio 1Xtra Breakfast show says: “I can’t wait for 1Xtra to get out on the road in front of the people who love and support the music as much as we do.”

Yasmin Evans, co-presenter of the Radio 1Xtra Breakfast show, says: “It will be my second year at 1Xtra Live and it's so wicked to have the whole family of DJs together for the shows. The best of all is that you get a chance to see the audience. I love their reactions, they go crazy! I know a few of the artists have some VERY special performances up their sleeves. Chase & Status always put on a good show and it's also nice to have big names from overseas like Robin Thicke and Azealia Banks on the same tour as UK artists like Naughty Boy and Wretch 32.”

Ben Cooper, Controller of BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 1Xtra, says: “1Xtra Live is fantastic - whether you listen to it on the radio or watch it online, you’ll want to share that passion and energy of live music with your friends.”
