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.

With an Edinburgh theatre already booked, Scott asked listeners to create songs and plots for a musical about the show, while Unofficial Mills’ Jono became part of the daily game. [...]
Older people described Peter Andre as cathedral-haired and sexy, mistook Edith Bowman for Camilla Parker Bowles and identified Alan Sugar from his pointing and anger. [...]
The programme returned from Big Weekend with letters about Beccy, JLS and Swindon before a dairy-themed Oh, What’s Occurring? counted cheeses, eggs and failed introductions. [...]
Dear Scott covered Scott’s imaginary chauffeur, podcast complaints and a mystery music video before Wing returned with Beat It and Man in the Mirror and Oh, What’s Occurring? replayed three elaborate challenges. [...]
