Emerging DJs Declan Knapp and Baobei (宝贝) have won the opportunity of a lifetime to play on the iconic island of Ibiza by opening Radio 1 Dance Weekend 2025 on Friday 1 August at 528 Ibiza. Every year, Radio 1 Dance partners with BBC Introducing to search for the UK's very best and undiscovered DJs who produce their own music. Jaguar will host a special show tonight (Thursday 17 July) from 10pm on BBC Introducing on Radio 1 Dance where she will play tracks from both winners. The entries to Radio 1 Dance and BBC Introducing's nationwide talent search were reviewed by BBC Introducing's network of local and regional shows with each show forwarding one entry to the final shortlist and a panel of Radio 1 DJs and producers selecting the two winners. Declan Knapp is known for his high-energy blend of house, garage, and bass with emotive, euphoric builds. His official edit of Groove Armada's 'Superstylin' landed its first radio play on Danny Howard's Radio 1 Dance Party and earned support from Martin Garrix, Pete Tong, and Hannah Wants. Declan's music has been played on Jaguar and Jess Iszatt's Introducing shows, Radio 1's Rave-Up with Arielle Free, Radio 1's Future Dance with Sarah Story, and Radio 1's Dance Anthems with Connor Coates. Declan Knapp says: 'BBC Radio 1 has been a big part of my journey, so being invited to play their Ibiza weekend is something I'm really proud of. I've spent years crafting my sound and sets and now I get to bring that to one of the most iconic places in dance music. Expect a lot of energy and some proper moments.' Baobei (宝贝) is a London-born, British-Chinese DJ, producer and songwriter who blends next gen UK Garage and house with pure pop sensibilities. In January this year, Baobei's track 'Hugging My Friends' was BBC Introducing's Tune Of The Week and secured radio support from Danny Howard, Greg James, Radio 1's Future Dance with Sarah Story, Jaguar on BBC Introducing on Radio 1 Dance, Jess Iszatt's Introducing show, and Radio 1's Chillest Show with Sian Eleri. Baobei says: 'I am so looking forward to DJing for Radio 1 Dance Weekend and experiencing Ibiza club culture for the first time which I've heard so much about! I'm very grateful for the continued support from BBC Radio 1 and Introducing throughout my music journey. I am excited to play a fun set and add to Baobei lore!'

TRNSMT day three as festival fans from across world soak up Glasgow sunshine
Festival-goers and performers have praised TRNSMT 2025 as one of the best yet. Music fans from around the world hailed TRNSMT a success as they soaked up the sounds and sunshine. The hottest weekend of the year provided the perfect conditions for revellers who basked in record-breaking temperatures. Over the three days, temperatures peaked at 30C on Saturday. And the unusually hot weather continued into Sunday, bringing tens of thousands of music fans to Glasgow Green in time for performances by dozens of top name and up-and-coming acts. Many had come to see yesterday's headliners Snow Patrol close the weekender's main stage and penultimate act Gracie Abrams. A number of homegrown acts including Dictator, who played the BBC Introducing stage, and Kyle Falconer entertained music fans from around the world yesterday. Postal worker Jack Martin, 28, from Austin, Texas, said: 'We flew to Scotland to enjoy a holiday because my wife is from here and wanted to see family. 'We realised our trip to Glasgow coincided with TRNSMT and decided to buy tickets and it's been one of the highlights of the trip so far. 'My wife has been to TRNSMT twice before and she thinks this is the best one yet.' Shop worker Sarah Brown, 38, from Renfrew said: 'I've been to five TRNSMTs and this one beats all the others. Some of the festivals have had bigger or better headliners but for the fun atmosphere I don't think anything can beat this weekend. 'I've enjoyed all three days and knowing that one of my favourite bands, Snow Patrol, would finish things off is the icing on the cake. Temperatures touched 30C on Saturday, cooling to a mere 26C on Sunday. Taylor Dylan, 26 from Dundee, said: 'We came to our pal Nxdia play. It was a brilliant set on the King Tut's stage. 'I love TRNSMT but they need to do more as a Glasgow festival to promote local talent. We need to see more Scottish talent and more non-males playing the festival. It's a very male dominated line-up.' Emma Kooij, 22, from the Netherlands had flown to Glasgow to see Gracie Abrams for the 20th time this year. She said: 'I absolutely love her music and I couldn't pass up the chance to see her amongst other artists at TRNSMT. She never disappoints'. Mag, 47, travelled all the way from Osaka, Japan, to see Kyle Faulkner – making it her third visit to TRNSMT. 'I'm a huge fan of Scottish music - and this is the festival that really brings it to life,' she said. 'I never feel alone when I'm here because people are so friendly. I love coming over - I'll be back next year'. Scottish drag artist Lola Fierce, 30, from Paisley, flew in from Gran Canaria. They said: 'This is the second time I have played at the Hangout. I did it last year. It's a ball and I would definitely say this is the best gig I've ever done which is why I flew 2,500 miles to come back and do it again. 'You get more variety of acts and stalls each year and there is definitely something for everyone to come along and have a ball and have fun. Beatson volunteers, IT worker Kirsty and wife, salon owner Jennifer Storrie, both 44, from Glasgow, helped people out on the disabled platform during the sets by artists such as . 'We are helping people by running to get their drinks and food so people can enjoy the music. It seems a lot bigger this year and a lot better. There are a lot more places for people to chill out.

Kirsty climbed the Kelpies and I did the Beatson bobble appeal because last year I was 10 years clear. 'This festival caters to everybody which is great.' Paul Mescal - whose sister Nell Mescal and girlfriend, Gracie Abrams both played the festival yesterday - was also spotted in the crowd. Nathan Evans and the Saint Phnx Band pulled a huge crowd on the main stage. The singer also revealed he will stage a concert at the Ovo Hydro on October 25. He said: 'To be able to announce that I'm playing the Hydro on stage at TRNSMT, in front of the fans who've helped make it happen, is the stuff that dreams are made of. 'Everything these days is about social media so there's something special about telling folk about it live during a show, especially in the beautiful sunshine.' Tom Walker brought Cammy Barnes onto the main stage to play bagpipes during his breakthrough single, Leave a Light On. Tom, 33, said: 'What an amazing crowd and awesome to finally take the main stage at TRNSMT. I brought Cammy Barnes on for the bagpipes on the last song Leave A Light On. 'He's a great artist and a great singer who slams it on the pipes. Bringing the pipes out in Scotland always gets everybody going and Cammy was having the best time of his life. 'The weather has been great and everybody has been really lovely. I love coming here.'
