Radio 1’s Big Weekend Coventry lineup so far

BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend is set to make a strong comeback after a two-year absence with a massive lineup of corporate fan favorites. Here’s what you need to know about how to get tickets

The Greg James countdown begins rolling out the morning of March 18, when tickets for Radio 1’s Big Weekend are sold out.

Heaven on My Mind singer Becky Hill, who made the top 10 hits, will take the stage to perform for the festival.

Scheduled to take place in Coventry, Big Weekend 2022 is more special after the event was held mostly in both 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Coventry received the commendable City of Culture title for 2021, which may well have been a factor in its being selected as this year’s Big Weekend city.

What is certain to be an emotional return to live music for artists and fans alike, the anticipation for the event has skyrocketed.

Saturday tickets sold out in less than an hour and 15 minutes, although at the time of writing, tickets are said to still be available for Sunday.

Many are said to have been disappointed and unable to purchase tickets. More than 50,000 people are said to have joined the queue in the hope of ensuring their safety.

Radio 1’s Big Weekend will take place at the end of May.

The festival will begin on Friday, May 27. It will then continue into Saturday, May 28 and Sunday, May 29.

Can I get resale tickets for Radio 1’s Big Weekend?

Ticketmaster is running a ticket exchange that allows people to submit tickets if they can’t go.

The system will force people to resell their tickets at face value, meaning profit-seekers won’t be able to raise prices and exploit honest festival-goers.
