Radio 1 Zane Lowe
Biography

Mon-Thu 19.00-21.00

Chris Martin
Zane on holiday!


While Zane Lowe was on holiday we arranged a stellar line up of guest presenters to keep you going through the post-Christmas blues.

Our incredible line up included: Ricky and Nick from Kaiser Chiefs, Tom and Russ from Editors, The Young Knives, Mike Skinner, The Automatic, Gary from Snow Patrol, Kelly Osbourne, Jamie T, The View, Abi and Dave from The Zutons and Chris Martin with Simon Pegg. Phew!

Who do you think presented the best show? Check the chatroom scores

Here's what went on:
Check out the photos of the guests

Tracklistings for each of the shows

A massive thanks goes to Nihal for his outstanding work as moral guardian, DJ guide to the stars and generally holding it down like a bad boy during the last two weeks of shows. An amazing job.

DJ

Since Radio 1 is supposed to be about finding new talent, shouldn't this extend to the actual job of DJ-ing as well? Rather than filling up Zane's slot with people who will get nothing from the experience, the time could be used to get a few new DJs on.
Tom, N. Yorks

the young knives presenting zanes show, that should be hilarious!
laura

Have your say!

Who do you think will be the best deputy DJ? Let us know what you think
