Europe's Biggest Dance Show 2023 was the sixth iteration of Europe's Biggest Dance Show, a multi-nation dance music simulcast hosted by BBC Radio 1, in collaboration with European radio stations 1LIVE, FM4, Fritz, NRK mP3, Radio Promin, Studio Brussel, SR P3, YleX, and for the first time, iCat and Raadio 2.

Background

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) announced on 14 September 2023 that the sixth iteration of Europe's Biggest Dance Show would take place on 22 September.[1][2]

The simulcast started at 18:30 BST, with Danny Howard introducing for BBC Radio 1 in London. As was the case in 2021 and 2022, each radio station contributed 30 minutes of dance music from their respective country. Each radio station sent their feeds to Broadcasting House in London, where they were mixed by BBC senior technical producer Dan Morris before being sent back to the radio stations for broadcast.[3][4][5][6][7]

iCat from Spain and Raadio 2 from Estonia contributed for the first time.[8][9][10][11]
