Nice idea but we don't have anywhere for 80,000 capacity.  Our largest outdoor venue is 20,000. 

 

[gfa]

Can we have it in the south please!

Usually it's around 35k daily capacity; unless you're on about overall weekend attendance.

Lorde isn't doing shows this year. But I'm sure she will be back at Big weekend for 2025 when she releases her next album.

[jj200]

Friday main stage: Fred again

Saturday main stage: Coldplay

Saturday second stage: nothing but thieves

Sunday main stage: foo fighters

Sunday second stage: ed Sheeran 

 

 

[NorthernSoul52]

Luton. What a time, what a place.

[rseamer]

My guess would be Olivia Rodrigo for the Sunday

No way Sheeran ends up anywhere but the main stage. 

[FestivalJamie]

There's no guarantee this will get big names, last year was rather underwhelming..

New album releases this year from (and realistic options) : Tom Odell, James Arthur, Sigma, Declan Mckenna, Zara Larsson, Idles, Kaiser Chiefs

If Becky Hill releases then you can add her to that list as well.

Dua Lipa could be possible if she's not booked anywhere else on that weekend. Fred again also likely given everywhere else. I wouldn't go expecting foo fighters or coldplay tbh the big weekend isn't how it used to be.

Fred is a reading exclusive

Pink would be a decent shout for this if dates align. Let's her do fifty minutes and bounce.

Would be good, but can’t see it sadly. 
Dare I say it but Coldplay could be within a chance if they release ‘moon music’ soonish?

[LMP]

Seems almost certain this is being held in Luton which, as a local, does surprise me.

Great to have something coming to the town, but the R1 Weekend locations team clearly don’t watch 24 Hours in Police Custody! 😅
