Radio 1's Big Weekend will take place in Hull this year - with Kings of Leon, Stormzy and Little Mix set to perform at the event, which takes place at a different location each year.
This year, massive names will take to the stage at Burton Constable Hall in Hull, for the weekend that is seen to kick-start the UK's festival season.
The two-day event is Europe's largest free ticketed festival. Tickets are allocated by prize draw alone, with fans living in the local area given priority. Radio 1 DJs also give listeners a chance to win tickets, with many phone-in competitions being held in the lead up to the festival.
"Looking forward to seeing you in Hull for Radio 1's Big Weekend at the end of the May," said headliners Kings of Leon. "Huge thanks to Radio 1 for leading the charge in helping us get our music to our fans, its going to be a great show, can't wait.
