Billed as a celebration of Peel's life and contributions to music, the day will be host to gigs across Britain and a 'very special London gig' organised by the BBC's Radio 1.
DiS hopes that the promoters involved will use the day as a way to expose exciting new talent that John would approve of, rather than making a quick buck off the back of a sore loss.
In addition, rumours that Bright Eyes has been booked are currently unconfirmed.
