Europe's Biggest Dance Show 2019 was the first iteration of Europe's Biggest Dance Show, a multi-nation dance music simulcast hosted by BBC Radio 1, in collaboration with seven other radio stations from across Europe: 1LIVE, , Mouv', NPO 3FM, RTÉ 2FM, SR P3 and Studio Brussel.

Background[]

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) announced on 27 September 2019 that it would join radio stations from seven other countries, and a potential audience of 18 million listeners, in hosting a one-off dance music simulcast on 11 October.[1]

The simulcast started at 19:00 BST on 11 October and finished at 02:00 BST on 12 October, with Annie Mac introducing for BBC Radio 1 in London. Each radio station contributed an hour of dance music from their respective country, except in the case of 1LIVE and , who broadcast 30 minutes each from Cologne and Berlin respectively. Some stations chose to feature at least one live DJ set as part of their contribution e.g. Jax Jones for BBC Radio 1.[2]

Each radio station sent their feeds to Broadcasting House in London, which were mixed by BBC senior technical producer Dan Morris, before being sent back to the radio stations for broadcast.[3]

The show's imaging was based around a sample from "San Frandisco" by Dom Dolla.

Despite the announcement that this was a one-off event, two subsequent editions of the simulcast were broadcast in May and October 2020.[4][5]
