BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend 2025 line-up: Full list of confirmed acts performing
This year, the annual event is heading to Liverpool for a celebration of the biggest acts in the UK.
BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend is returning for another year – and now more exciting acts have been added to the line-up.
The annual festival is due to take place at Sefton Park in Liverpool from Friday 23rd May to Sunday 25th May, and it looks set to be one hell of a party, with four stages filled with nearly 100 artists for you to dance and celebrate the start of summer with.
And for the first time ever, the festival has introduced performances from Radio 1 Anthems acts to celebrate iconic tracks and unforgettable moments from the past two decades of music.
This year, this is Natasha Bedingfield, who will perform on the Friday, and Sugababes, who will appear on the Saturday. Both will perform their biggest tracks on the main stage line-up.
They join a bunch of previously announced artists on the bill, including Biffy Clyro, Sam Fender, Blossoms, Lola Young, Wet Leg and BRIT Rising Star 2025 winner Myles Smith.
Meanwhile, Tom Grennan will headline on Friday night, while artists including Confidence Man, Katy B, Barry Can't Swim and Nia Archives are also on the line-up.
So, whether you're at the Radio 1 Main Stage, Radio 1 New Music Stage, Radio 1 Dance Stage or BBC Introducing Stage, you're sure to have a great time.
Here's who has been confirmed on BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend 2025 line-up so far.
