Radio 1's dance goes Global

---

Radio 1's dance line-up will be conquering new territory as of summer 2005.

We can reveal that next summer Radio 1 will be adding Global Gathering to its already bulging dance event line-up, which includes the Miami Winter Music Conference and PETE TONG in Ibiza.

However, there will be more changes and additions to follow, with talks underway for some brand new shows - keep checking back for further details.

Although the schedule may differ from 2004, Radio 1's reassuring fans that the station's commitment to dance music is still strong:

"After seven great years at Homelands and Creamfields we have decided it is time to take in some other highlights of the dance calendar. We have therefore decided to link up with Global Gathering for 2005."

"In addition we are going to be at a series of more niche dance events such as Skolbeats. This is in recognition of the fact that the dance music scene has fragmented into a variety of exciting sub genres that each require their own focus."

"Overall there will be no less dedication to dance music on the network, we will simply be focussing on different areas."
