Virgin Radio UK launches brand-new station playing Britpop
A new pop-up station from Virgin Radio UK launching today, will play music from the Britpop era.
Virgin Radio Britpop, which is available on DAB in London, on the Virgin Radio UK app and smart speakers, will take the Chris Evans Breakfast Show every weekday morning from 6.30am – 10.00am.
The station will play a mix of non-stop music, specials and sessions from the Virgin Radio archive, with bespoke programming from those who were a part of Britpop in the 1990s.
Artists played will include the likes of Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Elastica, Cast, The Charlatans and Manic Street Preachers; with live tracks from Shed 7, Richard Ashcroft, Suede and many more.
Mike Cass, Content Director of Virgin Radio UK, says: “The second coming of Britpop is truly here – from the Oasis reunion to so many seminal British albums celebrating their 30th anniversaries this year. So it’s the perfect time to celebrate the Britpop renaissance and give it the reverence it deserves with its own pop-up station at Virgin Radio.”
