Justin Bieber, The 1975 announced for BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge Month

BBC Radio 1 have announced details of their next Live Lounge Month - and we don't have long to wait!

Starting September 1st through September 30th, 24 acts will perform their latest material live in the Radio 1 studios, and of course, they'll provide listeners with a secret cover of their choice. We can hardly contain our excitement.

Kicking off the month long live marathon is one third of our current Official Singles Chart Number 1, Justin Bieber. JB is extra special in that BBC Radio 1 are flying all the way to LA, where he'll perform from the comfort of his own home.

OneRepublic will also go live on September 1st, while another double bill from Usher and Biffy Clyro will follow on September 2nd. Other acts announced include Bastille, The 1975, Olly Murs, Clean Bandit, Christine & The Queens and Zara Larsson.

Each act taking part posted an image on social media with a letter of the alphabet, with all of them together spelling out "Radio 1's Live Lounge Month". Usher and Justin Bieber then spelled out LA to finish off the greatest social media version of alphabet soup ever assembled.
