Meanwhile, the likes of RAYE, Charlie XCX and The Last Dinner Party have already performed, in what has so far been a thrilling weekend.

RAYE brought the house down with her set, continuing her big year after she made history at the BRIT Awards with a record-breaking six wins.

Greg James revealed the location of the three-day festival on his Radio 1 Breakfast Show on 29th January, while also announcing some changes to this year's format.

"Radio 1's Big Weekend is our favourite time of the year, and we love taking it somewhere new. This year, it's bigger than ever – we're doing a really big Big Weekend. For the first time, all four stages are on for all three days," James said.

"This year is the turn of Luton to experience the full Radio 1 treatment. It’s a simple mission, really: we just want everyone who comes along to have the best time."
