BBC Radio 1 have announced the first wave of acts for Big Weekend 2025, with Tom Grennan set to headline the opening day of the three-day festival at Liverpool’s Sefton Park.
Taking place from 23rd May to 25th May, the event will see performances from Biffy Clyro, Katy B, Nia Archives, The Wombats and more across multiple stages, with over 100,000 music fans expected to attend.
“Being asked to headline Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Liverpool, a city that has given so much to the rich musical tapestry of this country, is an incredible honour,” Grennan says. “Radio 1 have backed me from day one from the humble beginning of the BBC Introducing stage for BBC, to BBC Introducing Artist of the Year 2018, and beyond. We have shared so many amazing moments on my journey so far, and to now go hand in glove and headline their event in such an incredible city will be another crowning moment for me and my career so far.”
Tickets for the event will be available from 5pm on 13th March, priced at £33 plus booking fee. The allocation will be geographically weighted, with 50% reserved for Liverpool residents, 40% for those in surrounding areas, and 10% for the rest of the UK.
