-

Weekend in Middlesbro­ugh this year! Hope you’re ready to party cause I’m bringing my fans their favourite songs and possibly some new ones! See ya in the summer!”

The 1975 said: “We’re delighted to come to the North East for the first UK show of Music For Cars. Radio 1 has been a massive part of our story over the years and this will be our fourth time playing Big Weekend. It’s great to be coming back, this time as headliners.”

Little Mix said: “We are so excited to play Radio 1’s Big Weekend and performing for our beautiful fans. Middlesbro­ugh we are coming for you!”

Zara Larsson said: “So excited to play Radio 1’s Big Weekend! It’s one of our first UK shows in a while and I can’t wait to play my new songs for you all! The lineup looks sick too! See you in Middlesbro­ugh!”

Mabel said: “I’m so excited to be performing at Radio 1s Big Weekend again this year. The line-up is always sick so to be a part of it is really amazing!”

Khalid said: “Can’t wait to see you all at Radio 1’s Big Weekend. So excited to play new music for all you guys – hope you’re all ready for this new era.” Radio 1’s Greg James said: : “The listeners are the most important thing about Radio 1 and we think they’re brilliant. Without them, we’d just be a collection of weirdos talking to ourselves in a room, so we like to say thanks by pulling in some of the world’s biggest artists to do an enormous music festival for them. We traditiona­lly take Big Weekend to a part of the UK that doesn’t normally get these sorts of events and I can’t wait to take some of the best acts on the planet to Middlesbro­ugh.”

Ticket details have yet to be released. More informatio­n about how and where to buy them will be revealed over the coming weeks.
