Radio 1 Big Weekend drinks prices and inside swanky Guest Area
Guests can kick back in style at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Liverpool. Famous faces and friends and family of artists don't have to worry about waiting in the long queues for the bar or food outlets.
Instead, they can head into the swanky Guest Area which is nestled away from the main stage. Here, they can relax on inflatable sofas under a large canopy and watch all the performances on a huge TV screen.
Tucked away at the side of the Guest Area are two food trucks - a street food vendor and a Caribbean food outlet. But if you're still feeling festival ready and haven't been hit by the wind or rain, you can make the most of a BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend Photo Booth to capture a memory from the weekend.
It's not just a bar and food guests can make the most of though, there are dedicated toilets just for Guests that are cleaned regularly by on-site staff meaning you don't have to wait in the long queues and use the main arena toilets.

Zoe Ball's departure triggers loss of half a million BBC Radio 2 listeners
BBC Radio 2 has lost nearly 500k listeners in recent months after Zoe Ball's exit from the breakfast show in December BBC Radio 2 has seen a significant drop in its audience, losing nearly half a million listeners since introducing its revamped weekday line-up earlier this year, according to recent figures. The BBC station had replaced its renowned breakfast host, Zoe Ball, with Scott Mills after she stepped down from the position due to family commitments. The station had an estimated weekly audience of 12.62 million across April to June of this year, down from 13.11 million in the previous three months. It is the lowest total for Radio 2 since the current method of measuring listeners was introduced by research body Rajar in autumn 2021, following a break during the Covid-19 pandemic. The latest statistics are the first complete set of quarterly data reflecting changes made to the station's weekday programming, which took effect at the end of January 2025. Among the changes was Mills stepping in as the new breakfast show host, replacing Zoe. Other alterations included Trevor Nelson taking over the afternoon slot and DJ Spoony launching a late-night show from Monday to Thursday. Zoe presented her final breakfast programme on December 20 last year, after nearly six years in the role. Gaby Roslin and Mark Goodier temporarily hosted the show throughout January until Mills officially took over. Zoe announced last November that she would be stepping down as host of the Radio 1 Breakfast show to "focus on family". The broadcaster shares two children, Woody, 23, and Nelly, 14 with her ex-husband, Norman Cook, better known as Fatboy Slim. Announcing her decision live on air, Zoe said: "After six years of fun times alongside you all on the breakfast show, I've decided it's time to step away from the early alarm call and start a new chapter." She also expressed her excitement about her replacement being Mills, telling listeners: "Scott and I go way back to our Radio 1 days, when he was doing early mornings before me. He's been a close friend for years, and I'm beyond thrilled it's him taking over the Breakfast Show." She continued: "Breakfast has always been his dream, and what a year he's had - from racing around the world to his beautiful wedding to Sam. He's not only a blooming brilliant producer but one of the best in radio. I can't wait to tune in on the school run!" Radio 2's weekly audience has dropped by nearly two million over the past three years, falling from 14.53 million in April–June 2022. Despite the decline, it's still one of the most popular radio stations in the UK. The audience for the Today programme is down very slightly from 5.70 million in the previous three months, but up from 5.47 million in the equivalent period a year ago. This period has seen a number of veteran DJs disappear from the Radio 2 airwaves, such as Ken Bruce, who left to join Greatest Hits in March 2023; Steve Wright, who died in February 2024; and Johnnie Walker, who died in December 2024. Despite the loss of listeners, Helen Thomas, head of Radio 2, said: "I'm hugely proud that in a quarter where Radio 2 shone a light on Eurovision, celebrated Elaine Paige's 60 years in showbusiness, launched the RHS Radio 2 Dog Garden at the Chelsea Flower Show, and presented a VE Day 80 concert, Radio 2 firmly remains the UK's most listened to single radio station." "Congratulations to Scott Mills, whose Breakfast Show remains the number one breakfast show in the country, and Vernon Kay, whose weekday mid-morning show continues to be the most listened to programme on UK radio, with a weekly audience of 6.6 million," she continued.

Telling her listeners about her decision, she said: "I've decided it's time to step away from the early alarm call and start a new chapter. Zoe Ball's career so far Zoe was born in Blackpool and is daughter of the children's TV presenter Johnny Ball and his wife Julia. She appeared on television at a young age as part of the studio audience of the Saturday morning children's show, Saturday Superstore when her father was a guest. The star began her career in broadcasting as a presenter on the pre-school programme Playdays. After various behind the scenes roles, she earned a spot as a regular host of Top of the Pops, when she alternated with the likes of Jayne Middlemiss and Jo Whiley. In 1996, she was chosen to front BBC One's saturday morning show Live & Kicking, which led to stints on The Big Breakfast on Channel 4. But she maintained a huge presence on the radio as she was chosen to be the co-host of BBC Radio 1 Breakfast alongside Kevin Greening in October 1997. Zoe was later appointed the sole host of the show in a groundbreaking move by the corporation as she was the first female DJ to hold the post. The presenter chose to leave the station in March 2000 to start a family, where she was succeeded by Sara Cox. As a mainstream face in TV through the noughties, she hosted a range of huge programmes for ITV, including the Brit Awards in 2002, Extinct in 2006, and both Soapstar Superstar and Grease Is The Word in 2007. In mid-2002, she returned to radio when she joined Xfm (later known as Radio X), when she was the voice of the weekday drivetime show until December 2003. In 2004, she stood in for Ricky Gervais while he filmed the second series of The Office. In October 2005, she appeared as a contestant on the third series of Strictly Come Dancing, where she was partnered with Ian Waite, The star impressed viewers with her footwork and the duo waltzed into third place. In 2011, she returned to the franchise as she took over as the host of the magazine spin-off show, It Takes Two. She also filled in for Claudia Winkleman on the main show in 2014, when The Traitors star took leave after her daughter suffered serious burn injuries. After 10 years fronting the show, Zoe announced she was quitting her role on BBC Two in May 2021. Zoe's journey in BBC Radio 2 started in 2006 when she fronted specialist documentaries. Over the years she sat in for names such as Dermot O'Leary, Ken Bruce and Chris Evans. After several shake-ups, she returned to the station on a permanent basis when she took over Dermot's Saturday afternoon slot between 3pm and 6pm. In October 2018, Chris Evans moved to Virgin Radio and he personally announced that Zoe would take over his popular slot. She started presenting the breakfast show on 14 January 2019. "We've shared a hell of a lot, the good times, the tough times, there's been a lot of laughter. And I am going to miss you cats." She added she would also miss her colleagues, saying they were "like family to me". The early morning presenter added: "But I won't miss the 4am alarm call, if I'm completely honest. "You know I love you all to bits." 7 Zoe quit the early morning slot to 'focus on family' Credit: BBC 7 She is now back on the channel with a Saturday show Credit: PA
