Dance music fans say they'll stage their own Love Parade in Newcastle this weekend after the official festival was cancelled.
The Radio 1 event was pulled because Newcastle City Council refused to grant it a public entertainment licence over safety fears.
Now clubbers are planning to meet at the Tyne Bridge at 1pm on Saturday.
But Radio 1 controller Andy Parfitt says that "would not be a good idea at all".
He wrote on the Radio 1 website: "It could prejudice the future of Love Parade in the UK forever.
''I understand how disappointed people are, but to clog up the centre of Newcastle next weekend would be counter productive.
"If anything went wrong clubbers would be blamed, and the reputation of dance and dance fans, who made last year's event such a success, would be damaged."
The radio station is still staging a number of indoor events at the city's clubs over the weekend.
