Emeli Sandé, Rita Ora and Biffy Clyro for Radio 1 Academy event

The line-up for this year's BBC Radio 1 Academy has been revealed.

Emeli Sandé, Rita Ora, Biffy Clyro and Example will take part in industry themed events in Glasgow over May 10-16.

The event is taking place at the Queen Margaret Union and those interested in attending can apply for tickets.

Sandé will take part in a Q&A on May 10, with Sir Richard Branson and Ora's following on May 12.

Biffy Clyro meanwhile will answer questions on May 15.

Example is also scheduled to appear throughout the week, which will also see workshops and live sessions be held.

The Daily Record reports that Ora will also perform live, with rising star Nina Nesbitt also set to feature at the event.

Example commented: “Some of the most passionate music fans I’ve met live north of the Border. I look forward to meeting young people in Glasgow and answering all their questions."

The event is a precursor to Radio 1's Big Weekend in Glasgow on May 24 and 25.
