BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge Month announce star-studded line-up

It’s that time of year again - where BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge hosts the stars of the current music industry for live performances and never-heard-before covers. What’s not to like?

The Live Lounge has become a staple of Radio 1 since its beginnings in 2006, and every September, a new batch of artists is announced for a month-long slate of performances.

Since 2021, the segment has been presented by Rickie Haywood-Williams, Charlie Hedges and Melvin Odoom, and the 2025 artists were revealed on their highly popular show on Monday.

But who exactly can we look forward to?
