BBC Radio 1 has revealed the initial lineup for Large Weekend 2025, with Tom Grennan set to kick off the opening day of the three-day festival in Liverpool’s Sephton Park.
Festival Details
Scheduled from May 23 to May 25, the event will feature performances by Biffy Clyro, Katy B, Nia Archives, Wombats, and more across multiple stages, with over 100,000 music enthusiasts expected to attend.
“Being invited to perform at Radio 1’s Large Weekend in Liverpool—a city that has contributed so much to the rich musical tapestry of our country—is a tremendous honor,” Grennan states. “Radio 1 has supported me since my beginnings, introducing me on the BBC stage, representing me as an artist in 2018, and beyond. We have shared countless unforgettable moments on my journey, and to join them in such an incredible city will be another highlight in my career.”
Tickets for the event will go on sale at 17:00 on March 13 for £33 plus a booking fee. The distribution will be geographically balanced: 50% are reserved for Liverpool residents, 40% for those in surrounding areas, and 10% for the rest of the UK.
