Pete Tong brings BBC Radio 1 to Los Angeles and Miami with MK, Richie Hawtin and Claude VonStroke

This is going to be a special one

Pete Tong is taking BBC Radio 1 on the road in 2016. Los Angeles and Miami will be the first two metropolitan cities to receive Pete's legendary show in January and March of this year.

On January 22, Pete will broadcast the show live from the rooftops of a West Hollywood location 10pm-1am UK time and 2-5pm PST. The show is already guaranteed to be one not to miss with names like Claude VonStroke, Richie Hawtin, Eric Prydz and MK along with a special guest already confirmed to join. Later that day, Pete is also hosting the very first live Essential Mix from the United States at Exchange LA with Richie Hawtin and Lee K.

The second on-location broadcast will take place in Miami on March 18, coinciding with Miami Music Week. Annie Mac and Danny Howard are slated to join Pete for this broadcast edition, and more guests are scheduled to be announced in the coming weeks as well.
