A VPN to the UK could let you access the full Sounds website, and maybe make the app work again too. VPNs are increasingly being blocked by the BBC, so you might need to try several to find one that works; I've seen ProtonVPN being recommended recently, or NordVPN with its dedicated-IP option

Separately, I saw someone say that for those outside the UK, just clearing the Sounds app cache+data might work too, but I can't confirm that. (I know it can be done with the Android Settings tool, presumably IOS has something similar)

Clever! Mind you, being in the UK, just running the Sounds app over wifi (so it has a legitimate UK IP address) should be enough to wake it up again for a month abroad.

This is a bit of a shot in the dark as I don't have a system to play with, but try "play bbc radio 1 london" -- Radio 1's location in TuneIn is "London, UK" whereas Radio 1 Dance's location is just "UK".

That sounds like bbc .com, the international website. Were you running a VPN temporarily? bbc .co.uk can redirect to bbc .com for non-UK users (and vice-versa)

If you successfully used the Sounds app over a VPN to the UK, it should continue to work without the VPN for about a month, though you probably won't get UK-only content without the VPN.
