About this app

Backstage Radio is the UK's only radio station made by and for the theatre community — performers, presenters, technicians, stage managers, touring crews, and everyone who keeps the West End and beyond running. We broadcast 24/7 on DAB+ and online, with live presenter-led shows, music handpicked for backstage life, and an on-demand archive of past episodes.

The official Backstage Radio app gives you everything in one place:

LIVE RADIO
Tune in to Backstage Radio live, with three audio quality options to suit your data plan. Reliable streaming in the background while you work, travel, or rest.

TODAY'S SCHEDULE
See what's on right now and what's coming up over the next seven days. Tap the bell on any show to be reminded every week before it goes on air — no more missing your favourites.

ON DEMAND
Catch up on past shows directly inside the app. Hours of presenter-led content from across the schedule, ready when you are.

MEET THE PRESENTERS
Browse the team behind the music — the voices that make Backstage Radio what it is.

REQUEST A SONG
Send a voice message straight to the studio and request a song or send a shout-out for someone special.

DESIGNED FOR HOW YOU LISTEN
Background playback, lock-screen and Control Centre controls, Bluetooth and Android Auto-ready playback, plus a built-in sleep timer for late-night listening.
