23/01/2017 Look North (East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire)

The headlines from BBC Look North this Monday lunchtime.

It's been announced some of the world's biggest pop acts

will perform at a music festival in East Yorkshire

It's a great opportunity for young people to have

their first taste of a great music festival and then, on top of that,

it continues to advertise the city and the region.

And Hull City's Ryan Mason remains in a serious condition

after suffering a serious head injury in the game against Chelsea.

50,000 music fans are coming to East Yorkshire in May

with Radio One's Big Weekend announcing that Burton

Constable Hall near Hull will be its venue for 2017.

Our Hull 2017 reporter, Kofi Smiles, reports.

It's the biggest free ticketed event in Europe.

BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend attracts headline acts and music lovers

from around the world and just before eight o'clock this morning

After years of rumours, Radio 1's flagship event will be

coming to Burton Constable Hall in May as part of the

City Of Culture celebrations with headliners announced, Little Mix,

We are just thrilled at the opportunity.

In the '60s there was some all-night rock concerts put on by my dad.

It's an historic house but it's a very, very live place.

It's a great opportunity for young people throughout the region

to have their first taste, or another taste a the great music

festival and on top of that it continues to advertise the city

and the region as a great place to come and visit.

Right now I'm stood in the exact location where Kings of Leon

and Little Mix will be performing on the main stage

and in the background you can see Burton Constable Hall standing tall

and proud where organisers say this was the only location that was big

enough locally to cater for the 50,000 people that will be

We are going to be using roughly 50 acres of this and then we have

got the main grounds, the riding school block and then

Planning on where the fencing is going to be, where the roadway

is going to be because there is a big roadway to go ub.

That's going to take about eight days to put into place.

There is four months to get Burton Constable ready.

The all-important ticket information is still to be announced along

with more acts but it is another top event coming to

He's also helped to organise music events at Burton Constable.

How important is this event in terms of putting Hull

It is fabulous for the area. It is fabulous for Bolton Constable Hall

and Hull. It is such a good venue. It is a venue that has recently been

refurbished, it is perfect. This is a big festival, can they handle

that? It is the done thing these days. Lots of stately homes have

festivals. For the last 11 years I have been posting it at Leeds

Festival. Bramham Park is similar in structure. That has worked really

well. It is double the distance outside Leeds as that Constable is

from Hull. What kind of music can we expect? It will be new music which

is what BBC Introducing specialise in. Then Kings of Leon will pull a

big crowd. There will be a lot of other acts yet to be announced. I

know... What about local bands? I represent BBC Introducing and that

is what we do. Nothing has been announced yet. If people go to our

Facebook page we will make announcements about anything we know

as soon as we have it. Thank you for joining us.

Hull City midfield player Ryan Mason remains in a stable condition

in hospital after suffering a serious injury yesterday.

Mason suffered a fractured skull in a collision with opponent

Gary Cahill during the Tigers' defeat at Chelsea.

Here's our sports reporter, Simon Clark.

This is the moment in the first half when Ryan Mason suffered

The referee, Neil Swarbrick recognised the seriousness instantly

It was eight minutes before Mason was stretchered

from the field and taken to St Mary's Hospital in Paddington.

Well, thankfully incidents like this on the football field are relatively

uncommon and after confirming that Ryan Mason fractured his skull last

night, Hull City have offered a further bulletin

They say Ryan Mason has been visited by the club doctor.

He has been speaking about the incident, he will be

monitored by the hospital staff in the coming days and his family

say they have been overwhelmed by the support they have had.

The severity of the injury is not common in football and this

was the reaction of one former professional on Match Of The Day.

I think they realised straightaway how bad this was and our thoughts

It's a terrible thing to see on a football pitch.

Of course Gary Cahill was just innocent in going for the ball.

It was a sickening challenge and let's hope he gets back on that

Since Mason was carried from the field, the football world

has taken to social media to express concern.

Former team-mate Gareth Bale said get well soon, mate, our thoughts

We would like to send our best wishes to Ryan Mason

And Tigers team-mate Curtis Davies added,

thinking of you Ryan Mason, get well soon, mate.

Last night Gary Cahill, the Chelsea player involved

in the collision visited the hospital and spoke to members

The Government's announced it's going to spend

?160 million across Yorkshire and the Humber

Flood defences around the Humber will be strengthened

meaning more sites can be used to build houses,

Parts of Bridlington, Goole and Grimsby will

And you plan to deal with traffic congestion will go before Boston

councillors later. Ill try and improve traffic flow over the next

ten years. ?10 million has been invested in the town.

Lincolnshire County Council say they could save ?150 million over

five years if they were to become a unitary authority.

They intend to put the option to a public referendum

The County Council leader says it would be more

We have confusions over the roads, the county council contains the

road, the district councils sweeps it. The public do not care. We work

as best we can together, county and district councils. What would we

save? We would not need a Chief Executive, eight Management teams,

lots of things. Now a look at the weather

forecast with Paul Hudson. Well, yet again it looks

across East Yorkshire There will be fog issues,

pressure dominating our weather Now we have got some

thick fog patches still Some may persist all afternoon,
