Radio 1’s Big Weekend 2026 is set to take place at Herrington Country Park in Sunderland, as announced on the Radio 1 Breakfast Show by Greg James.
The event will run from Friday 22nd May to Sunday 24th May featuring around 100 performances, with an estimated attendance of 80,000 music fans.
Greg James commented, “Radio 1 is going back to the glorious North East! The best nights out by far. I started my radio career there, some of my favourite artists are from there and I can’t wait to be adopted as a Mackem next summer.”
Previous editions have seen performances from the likes of Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Stormzy, Lana Del Rey, Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars, among others.
Further announcements about the headliners, full line-up, and ticketing details for Radio 1’s Big Weekend 2026 will be made on Radio 1 over the coming months.
