The BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend will take place in Liverpool this year with Sam Fender announced as the first headliner.
This morning on Breakfast, Greg James revealed the news, saying it will happen between Friday 23 May and Sunday 25 May in Sefton Park.
Myles Smith, Wet Leg, Blossoms and Lola Young were also announced as the first acts set to perform.
Over the course of the weekend, around 100 acts will take part performing across four stages: Radio 1 Main Stage, Radio 1 New Music Stage, Radio 1 Dance and BBC Introducing.
Greg James says: “FINALLY…Radio 1 HAS COME BACK…to Liv…er…pooool!
“The last time I was there I was doing a big game of Hide and Seek and was hidden in the Liver building for a week so it’ll be nice to see some daylight and enjoy it properly this time. We can’t wait to bring the biggest artists in the world to this brilliant city in May. Everyone’s going to LOVE the line-up!”
Aled Haydn Jones, Head of Radio 1, says: “We’re thrilled to bring Radio 1’s Big Weekend 2025 to Liverpool. Liverpool’s vibrant music scene and rich history make it the perfect setting for this iconic event.
“With incredible artists already announced and more to be announced in the coming months, it’s set to be an unmissable weekend.”
