BBC Radio 1 announced today that the first John Peel Day will take place on Thursday 13 October 2005.
The day will be a celebration of John's life and massive contribution to music and broadcasting, with as many venues as possible staging gigs across the UK under the banner of Peel Day.
Prior to this, there will be a very special London gig organised by Radio 1, with details to be confirmed nearer the time.
John Peel died in October last year whilst on holiday in Peru.
Sheila Ravenscroft, John's wife, said: "John would have been honoured and fairly amazed that the anniversary is being marked in such a way.
"He would appreciate that in years to come Peel Day will give new bands across the country the chance to be heard."
Andy Parfitt, Controller of Radio 1, said: "Peel Day is about celebrating John's legacy and his unrivalled passion for music.
"It'll be a day of gigs taking place up and down the country - something we feel will be a fitting tribute to John."
Jason Carter, Executive Producer of Live Events at Radio 1, said: "Having spoken to all the major promoters in the UK and many people involved in live music, the strength of the feeling for this day has been fantastic, with everyone pledging their support."
