Radio 1Xtra

Long Saturday mornings hit different with Swarzy. Whether you’re up early for work, gym or good vibes, this is the show that brings the energy from the very first track. You’ll get bold bangers from across Black music to start your day right, and a brand new Track of the Day that deserves a spot in your playlist. And then there’s the mystery game — you never know which one it’ll be, but trust, it always causes chaos. Plus a chat with Gospel music powerhouse Kirk Franklin ahead of his UK festival appearance. Add in Swarzy’s stories, shoutouts and one totally unexpected moment every week, and you’ve got the ultimate Saturday morning fix. Listen live or catch up on BBC Sounds, or ask your smart speaker to play BBC Radio 1Xtra. Heading abroad? The BBC Sounds app keeps you connected for up to 30 days. Outside the UK full-time?
