1_tw 15 Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Be interesting to see if one of the TBA’s are The Killers as they are in Coventry that weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radio1fan 27 Posted March 16 Author Report Share Posted March 16 oooh good detective work, I’m hoping for Florence and The Machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBCAaron 31 Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 It would be odd to have The Killers on as don’t think any of their latest singles or new music has featured on the playlist for 5 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanS 23 Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 As good as it would be... I think Radio 1 have moved on from The Killers. They've firmly made the transition to 'Radio 2' artists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1_tw 15 Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Ditto Two Door Cinema Club & Sean Paul who hadn’t been on playlist rotation for a good while prior to the time of 2019’s big weekend. A lot of it will depend on who the organisers Festival Republic & The BBC can get booked & who is touring at the time & indeed who is available that weekend.

radio1fan 27 Posted March 16 Author Report Share Posted March 16 I wouldn’t be surprised if Dave was one of the two big names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono 60 Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Killers would be quite fun, although agree it's been yonks since they had much attention from Radio 1 aside from Anthems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBCAaron 31 Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 I mean i think at the time those two acts may have had radio play with new single. I mean Dave does have good chance popular on Radio 1 and there tends to be an act 1 Xtra would play out one performance of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono 60 Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 I think they should do some sort of Masked Singer reveal for the two guests, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1_tw 15 Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 That would be good - the two TBA’s leave it a bit of guess work for which day to go for! Book Saturday and know who you’re getting or Sunday and perhaps end up with the best line up (or not!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeekTalk51 13 Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 We’re expecting a big act announced on Wednesday right? I bet that’s where you get an import. Either that or someone like Adele maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBCAaron 31 Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 She lives mostly in America Adele but no longer an import could it be an artist like Dua Lipa. I mean Adele would be big act that still gets a lot of radio 1 play and has a mass appeal beyond the station and may seek interest of making it a BBC One special for her performance. If it wasn’t for Glastonbury the dead obvious one would be Billie Eilish. Contenders may include Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga a while since they performed. The Weeknd think the station would like him returning considering he’s put out few projects since last time. BTS less likely but a lot of social media interest when comes to radio play on radio 1 of the act and given a BBC One special. Think when future pop lands it would be case that on Mollie Kings show may play some K-Pop and some non-western pop acts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono 60 Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 Wonder if Harry Styles will play big weekend? Album is out the week before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radio1fan 27 Posted March 25 Author Report Share Posted March 25 He was scheduled to headline Dundee 2020 so it could be a good idea to have him headline the Saturday as Ed Sheeran won’t be the headliner due to performing in Cardiff on the same evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono 60 Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 Yep they're going to need someone fairly high up the bill that evening... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono 60 Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Harry Styles has just said his new single is out Friday. I suspect if he is on the bill, they'll time the announcement around this publicity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono 60 Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 As mentioned on the chatbox, Harry is speaking to Greg tomorrow morning. He kicks off a tour in June so Big Weekend would be a good start for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono 60 Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 Interesting Twitter suggestions Olivia Rodrigo would be plausible, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanS 23 Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 Harry Styles is the Sunday headliner for Big Weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono 60 Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 Well at least we've got a guess right for once! Capital narrowly pipped them with the Summertime Ball announcement. Assumed he would be at Big Weekend after that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanS 23 Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 He seems to be very much a big deal for festival bookings atm, Capital have announced him as their main billing for the Summertime Ball as well. Pà Salieu and Rina Sawayama have been added to the Future Sounds stage on Saturday and Sunday respectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono 60 Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 It sounds like someone might have dropped out, there seemed to be mixed messaging about how many other acts were being added to the line-up and Charli XCX seems to have swapped stages.
