This weekend, Radio Nova isn’t just dipping into its record collection – it’s throwing open the vault, brushing the dust off the sleeves, and blasting the classics with the volume all the way up.
The Bank Holiday feature is called Made for Nova, and it’s exactly what it says on the tin: a long weekend celebration of the songs that define what Radio Nova is all about – the unmistakable, the timeless, the Nova-as-hell tracks that no other station would dare to touch with this level of conviction.
These are not the safe, algorithm-driven, one-size-fits-all tracks. This is music that matters – music that sounds different because it is different.
We're talking David Bowie when he was genuinely untouchable. We're talking The Doors at their most hypnotic, Bob Marley at his most soul-stirring, and Derek and The Dominos with a guitar solo so transcendent it could melt glass. REM. The Rolling Stones. Boston. U2. The Beatles. Every track selected is a love letter to the real heads still out there, craving something with weight and texture.
And it’s not just a playlist. At 5PM on Monday, we’ll count down the top ten tracks as chosen by you – the listeners. The people who know the difference between a song that fills space and a song that moves you.
If you’ve got a track that screams Nova – the kind of song you hear on our airwaves and think, “Nobody else would play that, and thank God they do” – then now’s the time to shout about it.
This weekend, we’re not just spinning tunes. We’re broadcasting a statement.
