Radio 1's Big Weekend 2014, Glasgow

[Rose-Colored Boy]

23rd - 25th May

Paolo Nutini, Pharrell, The 1975 and Rita Ora announced so far, as well as the usual bunch of R1 DJ's.

Anyone any idea of who could headline? Mrs Carter's never done it..

[harryomatic]

Was thinking 2 out of Beyoncé, Coldplay, Katy Perry or Arctic Monkeys. And David Guetta or Avicii for the Friday

[Paul ™]

Radio One live from George Square on the Friday night too. 7000 pairs of tickets to be given away for that.

It wouldn't be a full third consecutive night of playing live though really, for Katy Perry, because she'd almost certainly just do what she did at the iTunes festival and just play for half an hour, nothing like the full show

I'm amazed Arctic Monkeys have never done it but would they play the Sunday after doing their big gigs in Finsbury Park the previous two nights? And assuming they go with the usual formula of one guitar band and one out-of-thin-air American superstar then if the second one is not KP or Beyonce then it's anyone guess really. Pharrell would have been a good shout but if he's already announced then it's not him.. Drake? Eminem?

It'll be people with albums to promote- which makes me thing The Black Keys could be a possibility. Mind you, its a month before the rest of their EU tour starts. Depends what they're gonna be doing in the way of album promotion

arcade fire are still on the continent

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Beyoncé apparantly announced that tonight was the end of her world tour on stage tonight, so I'd say that rules her out.

anyone know if buying tickets for the friday rules you out of trying or other days ?

Doubt it, you can apply for both sat and sunday tickets so don't see why applying for the friday would be any different.

Fingers crossed I get some for this year.

Friday tickets were surprisingly easy to get. Clicked on the link at 7:45 and got straight through to the booking page. No waiting whatsoever.

Fingers crossed it'll be this easy on Monday.
