Big Weekend Returns in Style
After two years away from the fields, Radio 1’s Big Weekend makes a triumphant return. It kicks off the UK festival season and brings a huge music bash to Coventry during its year as UK City of Culture. The event also boosts the local economy and shines a spotlight on a city that usually misses out on mega festivals.
The BBC’s working hand-in-hand with Coventry City Council to make Big Weekend 2022 a legendary celebration. Get ready, Coventry – the party’s coming to your backyard!
