John Peel Day Thursday October 13th 2005 is the date of the first John Peel Day, in memory of the influential DJ who died almost a year ago.
As part of this event, BBC Radio 1 will be broadcasting a special 6 hour show from 7pm featuring contributions from Radio 1 DJs, special guests and loads of live music.
Throughout the evening, Radio 1 will be crossing live to gigs, including Bloc Party's show at Birmingham Academy.
It's good to see that they've kept the line-up as eclectic as a typical John Peel playlist - other featured acts are The Fall, New Order, Super Furry Animals, Venetian Snares, Misty In Roots, Jawbone, Laura Cantrell, DJ Scotch Egg, Acid Casuals, Kid 606 and Drop The Lime!
