The YouTuber-turned-rapper shared: “Ya boy KSI is performing at Radio 1’s Big Weekend 2022. Cannot wait to get out and perform in front of you all in Coventry. Expect all the hits and maybe even a few surprises!”

Aled Haydn Jones, the Head of Radio 1, has also revealed that even more “exciting names” will be announced for the Big Weekend later this week.
