The event will take place virtually on Saturday 31st October from 6pm BST – tune in on the official website.

KISS FM posted on Twitter to reveal the acts and other details, saying, “We’re throwing the UK’s BIGGEST Halloween party and you’re all invited!” There’s no need to purchase tickets as the live-stream is free, and will be the perfect way to spend the 31st this year, as Covid-19 has prevented people from going out to parties.

The line-up consists of rapper Dizzee Rascal, who was recently awarded an MBE, followed by Becky Hill, Joel Corry, KSI, Nathan Dawe, S1mba, Ashnikko, and 220 Kid. There will also be special guest appearances from featured artists Ella Henderson, MNEK, and Craig David. Joel Corry tweeted out to his followers about his appearance, saying that he will be bringing “a few special guests”, as did ‘Don’t Need Love’ singer 220 Kid. So perhaps there will be even more artists than have been announced so far.

Presenters of KISS Breakfast Show Jordan Banjo and Perri Kiely discussed the line-up on this morning’s show, commenting, “A lot of Halloween parties may be off the cards right now, but fear not – KISS FM have got you. Bringing all the treats and maybe a few tricks, we’ve got some of the biggest KISS artists putting on a party just for you.”

Usually, the Haunted House Party is held at Wembley’s SSE Arena in London, but it has been altered to move online for the unique circumstances of 2020. In 2019, the incredible gig saw the likes of Stormzy, Sean Paul and Anne-Marie take to the stage.

They will begin hosting in 2019. Charlie Sloth, who has been presenting the hip-hop show ‘The 8th’ since 2017, left the station last month.

Sloth claimed he was leaving to “seek a new challenge”. However, it was said that his show would continue running until the beginning of November but was cut short due to a controversial stunt pulled by Sloth at an awards ceremony in October. The incident involved Edith Bowman, who won Best Specialist Music category at The Arias radio awards. Sloth responded by climbing up on stage, taking the microphone and saying “Edith Bowman, fuck your life. I just wanna say – Radio 1, 1Xtra, Saturday Night Rap Show, fuck your life. God bless.” Edith Bowman simply responded with a simple tweet, “Morning, Charlie Sloth. Hope you are feeling okay this morning.”

Sloth has been presenting shows for the BBC for a decade now, he is yet to announce what his next move will be career-wise. Despite it being highly unusual for a host to leave a show just after a year, especially after such a good response from audiences, Sloth did, however, cause a lot of controversies.

After a strong 10 years of presenting the KISS FM breakfast show, the trio, Rickie, Melvin, and Charlie say that “We’re so excited to be joining the Radio 1 family. Listeners will hear a new side to us, as we’ll be showcasing the music we love.” The three put together have more than enough experience to provide a fun and engaging radio show. Following the success of being named the most successful commercial breakfast radio show in the UK.

Between the three of them, they have presented a variety of shows, such as ITV2, Channel 4, MTV and BBC Three. The three will be presenting the show Mon-Thurs, 9pm-11pm from the start of the new year.
