It was confirmed last November that Radio 1’s Big Weekend would return in 2022 from May 27-29 after a two-year break. The annual event was held virtually in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-enforced restrictions.

The 2019 edition of Big Weekend took place in Middlesbrough, with performances coming from Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus, The 1975, Foals, Vampire Weekend and more.

Meanwhile, Yungblud recently returned with a new single called ‘The Funeral’. Its official video features cameo appearances from Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne.
