The Big RoomWhat is the Big Room?

The Big Room is a small, cozy and intimate room where 102.5 artists play a quick, or not-so-quick, show for listeners. It's a place for fans to get up close and personal with their favorite artists.

How do I get into a Big Room Show?

Tuning into the station is a big plus if you want to score passes! DJs are always giving away awesome prizes including tickets into the Big Room. You could also join the Lounge at CD101.com and build up Lounge points and redeem them for passes.

What is the Big Room Brunch?

The Big Room Brunch is Sunday mornings from 9-11. Ed Francis is your host and together, you'll listen to the best live tunes taken from the 102.5 studios. Every week Ed features memorable music from a classic Big Room show. It's called the "Big Room Spotlight." It could be Fastball's classic 1998 set... Tori Amos' magical 2002 show... or it could be a band that just popped in a few days ago. Either way, we think you'll like it!

:: Spotlight For May 20th::
Fun.
