Radio 1’s Big Weekend kicks off the UK festival season by bringing some of the biggest UK and international acts to cities that might not otherwise host such a large-scale event, lighting up the local area and providing a great boost to the local economy.

Radio 1’s Big Weekend was originally scheduled to go to Dundee in 2020, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic it was unable to go ahead.

This year the BBC is working closely with Dundee City Council to host Radio 1’s Big Weekend 2023.

Lewis Capaldi said of the news: “I’m really excited to be playing Dundee for the Big Weekend, I never managed to get tickets last time so I’m really excited to be able to come and enjoy it as well as play.” ‘

The 1975 added: “We look forward to seeing you all in Dundee for our first outdoor show of the year!”

Wet Leg said: ‘Seems like yesterday we almost got drenched in fear before playing the Future Sounds stage, or maybe it was raining? Anyway, we’ll be in Dundee for this year’s Big Weekend, but apparently on the Main Stage this time. See you in Scotland, friends.

Niall Horan similarly said: “I can’t wait to kick off the festival season at Radio 1’s Big Weekend 2023 in Dundee.” See you there!

Zara Larsson added: ‘I’m so excited to be back at Radio 1’s Big Weekend. I’ve been touring and perfecting my show and can’t wait to see you guys out there!’

‘Radio 1’s Big Weekend will showcase Dundee not only to the tens of thousands of people who attend, but also to the millions who will watch and hear on the BBC. We expect a big economic boost for the area as the event has meant millions of pounds to previous host venues.”
