If you’re after some feel-good music festival summer vibes, then make sure you tune in to BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend this Friday to Sunday.
The annual festival which usually tours around the UK, will be taking place remotely with more than 100 performances planned across five stages: the Radio 1 Stage, the Radio 1 Dance Stage, the Headliner Stage, the 1Xtra Stage and the BBC Music Introducing Stage.
You’ll be able to attend the festival from the comfort of your own home by tuning in to Radio 1 across the weekend, with full sets available on BBC Sounds.
The line-up for the Headliner and 1Xtra Stages at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend UK 2020 has been revealed, with archive performances from Rihanna, JAY-Z, Ed Sheeran, Billie Eilish, One Direction and more added to the bill.
The Radio 1 Stage, the Radio 1 Dance Stage and the BBC Music Introducing Stage will feature all new performances recorded by artists from their own homes, including from Sam Smith, the Jonas Brothers, HAIM, Mabel, and more.
