Stockport group Blossoms said: “We’re delighted that Radio 1 have invited us to play at this year’s Big Weekend. Even more so because it’s taking place in Liverpool, a city close to our hearts, where we’ve worked and recorded every single one of our albums since our debut in 2016.

“It’s going to be a really special weekend, and we can’t wait to perform.”

Tickets for Radio 1’s Big Weekend will be available from 5pm Thursday (13.05.25) and will cost £33 (plus a £4.50 booking fee per ticket). Keep listening to BBC Radio 1 and download the BBC Sounds app for more information.
