From the homepage:

Radio 1 has announced their plans for live events this year and it includes Radio 1’s Big Weekend making a return in May. This year it will include a third stage, continuing it’s success as the biggest free-ticket event in Europe.

The station will travel the UK and abroad in the summer as part of Radio 1’s six weeks of summer, and there are plans for an under-18s event in London in November.

Following on from Radio 1 Presents… The Kaiser Chiefs, there’ll be a special announcement from My Chemical Romance at the end of April.

There'll also be live coverage from Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds Festival, T In The Park, the BBC Electric Proms, and broadcasts from the Download rock and metal festival, Russian dance festival Fortdance, Icelandic festival Airwaves, Sonar and the Miami Music Conference.

Maybe the people from Dundee & the surrounding areas will get tickets for the Big Weekend this year since it won't be in Dundee!!! Not that we were bitter at all!!! lol

I have to say that I got tickets :) but randomly I got then from my flat in Glasgow, rather than from my parents' in Fife...

People who work at my Head Office in Glasgow got tickets. they are the only people I know of that got them!

We heard unofficially that Dundee City Council made a deal with Radio 1 that 80% of the tickets were to go to people outwith Dundee and the surrounding areas to encourage people to come into the city!!!

Still maybe I'll get tickets this year for somewhere else in the country!

You ever been to Big in Falkirk? I didn't realise it was free! I've never been but will look into it this year I think! :doubt:
