The Radio 1 Big Weekend lineup has been announced and some of the biggest names in music are set to take to the stage.
Earlier this year, it was confirmed that Sam Fender, Lola Young, Myles Smith, and Wet Leg will headline the huge event - excellent news if you missed out on tickets for Fender's upcoming UK tour.
Now, it has been announced that Tom Grennan will headline on the Friday night too, with Biffy Clyro, Barry Can’t Swim, and The Wombats also topping the bill.
