Hits Radio Brand Network Group Programme Director, Gary Stein said: “We are all missing our summer live music experiences, however in collaborating and sharing this cross-stage approach, we feel we can really capture and provide listeners with the diversity of a real music festival. We asked our audiences across three radio networks for their favourite gigs of all time and they responded in their thousands. With so many amazing acts on across the day, the only problem will be deciding which stage to head to!”
