Big Weekend
Radio 1's Big Weekend is the station's free music festival, held in a different part of the UK each year. Here's our coverage of Scott Mills and the team at Big Weekend over the years.
Amy took Jason Derulo’s “Wiggle” onto the street and discovered that asking strangers what they did with a “big fat butt” sounded far worse without the song. [...]

One Direction spoke candidly about fame, family, social media and the sound of their next album in Scott's extended Big Weekend interview. [...]
Guy Mowbray agreed to record authentic football commentary after Scott's Innuendo Bingo alternatives proved rather too descriptive. [...]
Abandoman turned Scott's football memories, friendship with Chris and shaky rhymes into an emergency lesson in rapping on beat. [...]
Matt Richardson travelled from Oxfordshire at two hours' notice before Gemma Cairney raced in late for a fiercely wet Innuendo Bingo. [...]
Calls made on behalf of Harry Styles and Rita Ora helped Scott manufacture his own increasingly implausible Big Weekend rumours. [...]
