BBC radio 1 big weekend 2025

[MatthewTurner]

I'm going to put my money on Sabrina Carpenter to headline the Sunday.

[nathanh]

Band

[jasonb212]

It’s a band

[FestivalJamie]

Now headlineR again?

[nathanh]

Mumford and Sons... Makes sense why JADEs headlining New Music

What the f**k😂😂😂😂 

 

goodbye

[nathanh]

That makes tickets a little easier to get tickets but not by much I dont think

[nathanh]

Now who said it earlier who jinxed it

[Stuart1000]

So they have an all female lineup on Sunday - but the day is being headlined by Mumford & Sons?!

 

Who pulled out?

HAIM

Wonder if we might get more Haim live news later. They have a new single being released later today.

[FestivalJamie]

Wish it had been 1975 or Haim.

My exact thought process. Saturday is so catered around Sam that I thought the same would happen for Sunday but seemingly not...

[jasonb212]

Seems very dated and meh. Now I’m stuck between Saturday and Sunday I want to see Sam and Jade was hoping for a massive Sunday headliner that will decide the Sunday.

HAIM would have been great , arguably not quite big enough to headline big weekend but better than Mumford and sons …

[tomjfx]

What a genuinely strange lineup, I like Mumford and Sons but it seemed like the obvious step was to have a massive female artist headline

[MatthewTurner]

Not my cup of tea, so if I get tickets I'll likely go to see the headliner in the tent. They're a big act based on the numbers, but not one I'd still expect R1 to be plugging with a headline slot in 2025.

Hope so! 
Enjoyed them massively after seeing them support KOL at mk bowl and haven’t seen them since 

[FestivalJamie]

Anyone else really disappointed after all that suspense ? 😅

[jasonb212]

2024 was absolutely massive for the Pop females… makes absolutely no sense to not have 1 of them headline. Crazy.

Can only book them if they say yes

I think the Saturday is stronger. At least it is centred around one genre

 

the Sunday is so random. Tate McRae as sub headliner and then a complete change in direction to Mumford & sons . 
 

Possibly a big female name dropped out and they moved Mumford & sons from the Friday to the Sunday and pushed Tom grennan up to headline the Friday
