    Doves have become the latest act to be confirmed for this year's Radio 1 Big Weekend.

    They will play the In New Music We Trust stage on the Saturday night of the event which also features headline performances from Lily Allen, Kasabian and Franz Ferdinand.

    White Lies, Basement Jaxx and Gossip have are also on the bill for the event, which will take place in Swindon’s Lydiard Park from May 9-10.

    The Enemy, The Wombats, Friendly Fires and  Alesha Dixon, Jack Penate, Ne-Yo and Ladyhawke will also perform.

    Big Weekend, which is the UK's biggest free ticketed music festival, will host music over four stages and be broadcast live on the BBC.

    Snow Patrol and N-Dubz were the first acts confirmed for the event last month.

    The majority of tickets for the event will be given away to local residents.

    Last year's Radio 1 Big Weekend, which took place in Kent, was headlined by Madonna.
