The addition of Harry Styles to this year’s line-up comes after the star played two headline shows at Coachella 2022 this month. Check out NME‘s four-star review of his first performance here.
Styles’ third studio album, ‘Harry’s House’, comes out on May 20 and features his recent single ‘As It Was’.
He’ll showcase the record on his delayed UK and Europe headline tour this summer, which includes two huge dates at London’s Wembley Stadium. You can see the full schedule and find any remaining tickets here.
Radio 1’s Big Weekend was held virtually in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic. The 2019 edition took place in Middlesbrough, with sets coming from Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus, The 1975 and more.
