AFTER three years, Radio 1's Big Weekend is finally back and promises to be bigger than ever before. 

The last festival was held in Middlesbrough back in 2019 but this year the BBC station has moved towards the Midlands with the event taking place in Coventry. 

It will take place from the 27 to the 29 of May in War Memorial Park and although the line-up has not been announced yet, previous years prove they never disappoint. 

Each year the weekend sells out with some tickets just for local residents and at reasonable prices, its no surprise they go so quickly.

To save you a job of searching the internet for all the need-to-know we've rounded up all the key information for the weekend. 

How to get tickets to Radio 1 Big Weekend Coventry:

How are tickets to Radio 1 Big Weekend allocated?

Each year Radio 1 partners with the local council, which means that residents in the area get a number of tickets reserved just for them.

Tickets are dived into three 'pots': 

Pot 1: 60% of the tickets will initially be reserved for Coventry City Council residents. These tickets will be reserved for seven days until 5pm on Thursday 24th  March, after which any unsold will be offered for general sale.

Pot 2: 25% of the tickets will initially be reserved for those living in remaining ‘CV’ postcodes, all Birmingham ‘B’ postcodes and selected Leicester postcodes (LE1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,17,18,19). These tickets will be reserved for seven days until 5pm on Thursday 24th March, after which any unsold will be offered for general sale.

Pot 3: The remaining 15% of tickets are available for the rest of the UK.

If you are part of pot 1 or 2 then you can get your tickets by entering the postcode of your home address when purchasing tickets. 

Radio 1 Big Weekend Coventry rumoured Line-Up:

Although the official line-up has yet to announce we have some speculation of who will be taking to the stage. 

Previous years have seen Ed Sheeran, Miley Cyrus and Coldplay all take to the stage.

But this year there is rumours that Brit Award winner Sam Fender could take to the stage or even megastar Olivia Rodrigo.

Although we don't know the full line-up yet, we can expect it to be incredible as previous years have shown.
